A California middle school student was recently suspended and barred from attending future sporting events in the school district after being accused of wearing blackface at a football game.
The Oct. 13 incident that resulted in the student's suspension – first brought to the public's attention by the popular X account Libs of TikTok – took place at a high school football game between La Jolla High School and Morse High School.
The student – identified as J.A. for privacy reasons by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to defending freedom of speech – reportedly wore black face paint under his eyes for the game, leading to backlash from the principal of Muirlands Middle School in La Jolla.
quote:
One week after the game, FIRE, which intervened in the matter in an effort to protect the student, said the principal called J.A. and his parents to a meeting, where he told them the student would face a two-day suspension and barred from attending future athletic events for wearing blackface.
quote:
The disciplinary notice obtained by FIRE described J.A.’s alleged offense as "painted his face black at a football game" and categorized the incident as "Offensive comment, intent to harm."
In a letter to the school's principal, FIRE expressed concern over the school's handling of the situation and called for a reversal of the decision.
quote:
"J.A. wore his eye black throughout the game without incident," FIRE added in the letter.

This woke mindset is literally some type of brain virus that kills any logical, common sense, deductive thinking capabilities. How a nation can sit back and take seriously an ideology that can't define a woman? EVERYONE, of all races and backgrounds should be rejecting this insanity.
Total absolute insanity.

There won’t be any fireworks. They only do this shite because they know Honky ain’t gonna do a goddam thing. There are no consequences. It’ll happen again and again and again.

I also find it hard to think this was the ONLY kid on either team with eye black all over his face. Kids this age don't do this stuff alone without copying each other.
Id bet the house on if you asked this kid what "black face" meant in the context of the outrage he wouldn't have had a clue.
