If you new Reyes like I do, you would know he is only out for the best of ALL students! I have personally had interactions with him and his brother, during my high school years! No I'm not a minority, I'm white and he treated us All equal!! He was my Spanish teacher, and the soccer coach when I was in school! I was a 4.0 honor student, and during my second year a deep tragedy happened in our period, the student who sat behind me one day got his fathers gun and committed suicide. Mr. Reyes was dignified, supportive, and available during one of the first major tragedies in my life! He was there to support us and his family,@school and the funeral,! Which was the first time I dealt with death that close to me..I don't know if mr..reyes truly knows how much his kind words, hugs, and shared memories truly helped me deal with for me @14@ was a major tragedy! And without his guidance would have been much worse!!! So.if I never said it thankyou! And I'd count your blessing such a caring man is stepping into that position for All the lucky students at that school! He may be looking like he ”favors” hispanic students, but from my experience he loves All his students regardless of Race! Unless you have personal experience with him, I personally think you should keep your asinine comments to yourself!! Love a former student. You won't get a more passionate, caring, person for the job!!!
