The photos eventually reached Milford School District Superintendent Dr. Phyllis Kohel, who immediately told her husband to take the signs down. "I didn't want to wait,"
she told Delaware Online.
Though
some have referred to the notices as a modern-day "Whites Only" signs, Kohel says she assumes "there was not an intent to discriminate."
As to how the Spanish translation came to diverge so far from its English counterpart, Kohel offered this possible explanation:
The only reason she can think of is that
someone duplicated the signs that are posted at the districts middle school and high schools. At those locations, where there are sports fields, there are warnings in English and Spanish that use permits are required and that violators are subject to police action.
