Santa Ana College followed suit of erasing<\/a> C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez’s name from its campus Thursday following the disturbing allegations<\/a> that the civil rights icon sexually assaulted girls and women.<\/p>\n

Workers boarded up the signage at the C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Business and Computer Center, which was established in 1994.<\/p>\n

The president of Santa Ana College announced that the school would be covering up naming plaques, murals while removing Ch\u00e1vez-related photos from the school website and social media.<\/p>\n

Three murals, including the “Legacy of C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez” painting by artist Emigdio Vasques inside the building were covered up.<\/p>\n

“I heard they were covering up the names outside. I ran over there, took a moment of silence, just acknowledge the women and the school\u2019s decision to cover up his name and hopefully rename this building,” said Helen Estrada, a student at Santa Ana College.<\/p>\n

School officials said the murals are covered up to prevent vandalism while the school discuss what to do with thespace. The school’s Board of Trustees will meet on Monday to discuss next steps.<\/p>\n

The Santa Ana Unified School District said it’s having a conversation about C\u00e9sar E. Ch\u00e1vez High School and what to do with the name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Santa Ana College followed suit of erasing C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez’s name from its campus Thursday following the disturbing allegations…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227728,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164,338],"class_list":["post-227727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-santa-ana"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227727\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
