YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) – The State Department of Health is apologizing after some people are upset about anti-marijuana messaging aimed at Latino kids in the Yakima area.
The public health campaign includes advertisements and at least one billboard that says, “We’re Hispanics, We’re cool by default.”
A Health Department spokeswoman says it’s clear from the reaction on social media that some people are offended.
The ads are part of a statewide effort to prevent teens from using weed.
