But can they openly harm your reputation in the process? I can't read the article - Ad blocker... Did the school publicly chastise the lads, or quietly axe them to leave?

If you have teenage relatives, you know they take pictures of everything. Then send them out to everyone they know, like we give a shite.

It looks like other minor kids posted the picture on social media and that's what got it out there, it doesn't look like the school did. What looks awful on the part of the school is they told the parents if they voluntarily withdrew the school wouldn't tell other schools why they left, but they ended up going back on that and saying they would be honest about why they left. That is not going to go well for them

Good for them. Blackface outrage is some of the weakest woke virtues around.

That kid looks Asian.

Due to his non-whiteness, he was unable to fall into racist actions.

Mark my words, what ever company manufactures that cream will now change the color........that said, I DO hope these young men get paid handsomely. I mean if the family of a thug trying to kill two cops can get millions........

That may be true but they shouldn't be able to slander the students claiming they were being racist by doing the 'black face' even though it was with white and green colors.


Agree - the real tort here is defamation.

Well this opinion is certainly different than the usual "it's a private school they can expel for whatever reason they want" the OT is famous for believing when the student is gay, wears revealing clothing, etc.



You don't get to lie about kids and try to ruin their futures... allegedly.

Well it does appear they harmed the lads' reputations over a misunderstanding - game on!

I hope they get paid.

On a side note: where are we as a society when kids feel the need to post themselves in an acne mask on social media?

Will happen regardless, these masks are only good for taking money from insecure women.

My guess is this. They were trying to be clever and knew exactly how it would be received. It backfired, so now they are feigning innocence and ignorance.

People need to mind their own business. It backfired on the school because some Karen thought she was clever.

If that counts as black face the I am in a ton of trouble. I likely have 50 similar pics of myself (granted they were all while I was in the military getting ready for training operations.....some are actually in official Marine Corps documents).

That's just a weird picture in general. I'm interested in the context. Were they doing a before and after photo to compare their skin after. Or maybe they were purposely trying to be edgy. Idk.


Just going off the photo it looks like a duet on tik tok.
