Sounds like a Florida thing to do. Now that books are a felony they're just gonna get increasingly dumber.

It's florida. Keep curtailing what can be taught in school.

Florida, where teaching about slavery is a felony and black face is acceptable.

Dude who ever thought this was a good Idea needs a crash course on common sense.

In Florida, you can wear black-face, but you're not allowed to understand why it's wrong, under penalty of torture.

Man the news is really trying to convince me that there are schools in Florida.
I have a really hard time believing it.

Not only is this racist, but it's also just a mess. Can you even imagine cleaning that paint off? It would stain clothes, your sink. Fuck, I would be pissed!
Rosebunse t1_j8f7wvc wrote
Someone who didn't have to clean the kids up afterwards.

Any normal people from Florida on this sub? Are you folks ok? Blink twice if you need help.

They’ll have to call up someone from outside of Florida, that’s for certain.

Florida here on a roll trying to one up themselves in absurdities for black history month
great_gastly t1_j8gbwl2 wrote
I'm guessing they didn't receive lectures/classes about racism in their own education before doing this lol.
great_gastly t1_j8gc1hz wrote
They likely didn't know about blackface because we, on a whole, don't like talking about the history of racism in the US in structured classes in schools.

Seems too obvious to be the case but yeah. Such dumbasses grow up in a bubble and have never had their presumptions about race or “others” challenged.

Of course it's Florida... How the fuck can anyone think this is a good idea.
abjedhowiz t1_j8hfkr9 wrote
Good luck explaining to the kids why you can’t do that. “This is wrong because racism exists kids”. And wide eyed they go “IT DOEES??” As you introduce racism into their lives by explaining why they can’t paint their faces black.

Odd I was able to access it. Perhaps they fixed the glitch.

Yes because blatant racism is how far too many schools and people celebrate Black History Month.

Technically not school. Pre School because you gotta get them young.

TL/DR Latina daycare workers who probably get $12 an hour didn't understand the nuances of race relations in the USA.
espressocycle t1_j8wml2d wrote
Article says the staff and most students are Hispanic and I'm guessing whoever thought this up was an immigrant paid $12/hour so what do people expect? My kid's daycare did something oddly sketchy like this. Not as bad and I can't remember what but I'm sure Miss Isabella didn't mean any harm.
espressocycle t1_j8wn4cq wrote
Sounds like it was a latina immigrant. If you don't understand the baggage of blackface in this country the idea of putting yourself in another person's skin is not intrinsically offensive.
