An Iowa school district accused of discriminating against minorities is investigating reports that an elementary school teacher wore blackface at a Halloween party.
quote:
Megan Luloff, a first-grade teacher at Walcott Elementary, wore makeup to appear to be an African American woman at a party Friday night at the Walcott American Legion,
quote:
She was dressed as a character from the 2004 comedy “Napoleon Dynamite,”
quote:
“I think she should be dismissed. Being a teacher, this is a serious lapse in judgment and her presence in a classroom could be detrimental to any student she teaches, particularly African-American students,” Andrews said. “I would definitely not want her teaching my children,” she continued. “This makes me wonder what’s in the water, so to speak. What are we teaching in Davenport for this woman to think that this would be OK?”

How do people not know in 2018 that blackface pisses everyone off.
I mean, to be fair, i think it’s kinda funny. But it will always be deemed racist.

In 2018, you have to be a complete moron to think it's a good idea to paint your face black for a costume.

She probably thought it's Halloween and a costume.

Also, the picture of her is not "blackface." Real blackface is always racist. Painting your face black to portray a black person as a costume is not.

She supposed to be uncle Rico?

People should be able to paint themselves whatever color they want. Lots of folks are way to sensitive these days.

But it doesn't piss anyone off. I am certain absolutely no one, of any race or creed, is truly bothered one bit by someone respectfully dressing as someone of another race.

The school district will have First Amendment issues coming out the wazoo if they fire that woman for black face.
