Valeria Moreno, a ninth grader at Del Oro High, expressed her distress over the situation. “That makes me feel disgusted. It makes me want to move schools because it hurts me to know that people around me are dangerous around, and it doesn’t make me feel safe,” she said.<\/p>\n

Students gathered outside the school, holding signs with messages such as “Honk for Justice” and “Beware of Sexual Assault,” to show support for their classmate and demand stricter hiring practices at the school. They also urged parents to be more vigilant about their children’s activities at school.<\/p>\n

Alecia Chavez, another student, shared her disbelief, saying, “I would have never imagined that teachermy intentions were not knowing for a teacher to do that to their student.”<\/p>\n

Natalia Flores Urias, a sophomore, described the student involved as a “shy, loving girl” and noted that she had been receiving online harassment since the news broke. “People should not be making fun of her for that. It\u2019s not right. She deserves more even if she messed up,” Moreno added.<\/p>\n

Cisahlee Meriwether, an 11th grader, emphasized the need for increased safety measures, stating, “They need to do more to help protect our kids because kids at school don\u2019t even feel safe. The parents don\u2019t even want their kids coming to school because of what\u2019s going on. They need to do something about it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAKERSFIELD, Calif.(KBAK\/KBFX) \u2014 Students at Del Oro High School staged a protest on Thursday following the arrest of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31158,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[151,153,152],"class_list":["post-31157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield-headlines","tag-bakersfield-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31157","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=31157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
