(The Center Square) – The father of a Federal Way High School student is raising concerns about a recent school assembly related to Hispanic Heritage Month.

“He came home and he was just upset,” Nathan Bindara said about his son, who is a student at FWHS. “He said, ‘Dad, can I be excused from assemblies?’ Then he explained there was a video they were showing that upset him. I asked for clarification, and he told me they were saying you can’t be illegal if you’re native or Mexican, and I was like, wow, that’s ridiculous.”
