FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Ken Dias, the Clovis East High School ag teacher accused of telling a student to "go back to your country" and "you're a disgrace" because the student was on her phone during the Pledge of Allegiance, issued a statement."The statements attributed to me are blatantly erroneous and/or severely taken out of context," Dias said. "My sincere belief is that had our administration encouraged or even suggested some sort of restorative justice between this student, her parents and myself, this issue would have been efficiently resolved to the satisfaction of all parties, and unnecessary and harmful media speculation could have been avoided completely."
