A photo with more than 800 comments and more than 500 shares circulated Friday showing two Syracuse School District teachers wearing "No Lives Matter" shirts for Halloween with popular horror movie killers Michael Myers and Jason on them.

"We understand that there’s a movement called Black Lives Matter, and in this movement, it has been started because of the brutality that African Americans are experiencing with caucasian individuals and with police officers," said Nitch Jones, a parent and community organizer.

Some Facebook users, including one of the alleged teachers responding to the post, say it was a play on words in honor of the holiday and people are missing out on the humor.

Others say this is not a joking matter.

"She’s so oblivious as to how inappropriate that was at a time such at this. Look at how she responded to people’s criticism. It almost came off like she doubled down," said SCSD parent Joshua King.

The Syracuse City School District issued a statement condeming the behavior, saying they believe Black lives matter and the teachers have been placed on administrative leave.

But King says the problem is larger than a single incident.

"The real problem isn’t that shirt, or someone who isn’t culturally competent. That’s the structuring and the culture and the environment in SCSD," said King.

As a former substitute teacher, he says micro and macro-aggressions toward Black students are institutional problems that impact kids and show in incidents like these.

"There’s a lot of blind spots that people don’t even see," said King.

"They should have been culturally sensitive to what’s going on in this day and age with African Americans," said Jones.

While the Syracuse City School district has a pending investigation open on the teachers, parents are left with many concerns that they say boils down to one question:

“Who are we allowing to be in front of our students?” asked Jones.
