HOUSTON – A pair of signs described by community members as hateful, racist and misogynistic was found Tuesday outside Pershing Middle School in Houston. Stanton said she became aware of the signs thanks to a friend who snapped a picture before they were taken down. One of the signs read: “Epstein and Weinstein not a Presbyterian Problem." “As a feminist, as a woman raising a daughter -- I was just shocked and appalled.”Stanton posted pictures of the signs on Facebook to make community members aware. The Houston Independent School District told KPRC 2 they were aware of the signs and released this statement:“HISD is aware that signs with disparaging language were posted on barricades surrounding Pershing Middle School on Tuesday evening.
