Schools, Writers Falsely Attack Kids In 'Blackface'

Do you ever notice how often the people ostensibly in charge of educating the public, educators and newsmen, repeatedly mislead us?

Two child blackface hoaxes have rocked the media in less than three weeks.

The first came when a California boy was suspended from school and banned from all future sporting events for “wearing blackface” to a football game.

The only major print news publication to properly headline this story was The New York Post,“California kid's brush with wokeism over fake 'blackface'". While the boy obviously had not brushed his face with paint to do blackface, he had had a brush with the woke insanity consuming public education.

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), the consistent heroes of free speech in education, stepped in to defend the J.A.’s legal rights. They raised the boy’s profile on their social media platform and sprung their team into action.

“As the First Amendment protects J.A.’s non-disruptive expression of team spirit via a style commonly used by athletes and fans — notwithstanding your inaccurate description of it as ‘blackface’ — FIRE calls on the school to remove the infraction from J.A.’s disciplinary record and lift the ban on his attendance at future athletic events,” Aaron Terr, the group’s director of public advocacy, told J.A. school district in a letter.

Yet the know-nothing nutters at the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) have not been deterred, J.A.’s unjust and bizarre punishment has stood, according to the Post, even though the New York Post and FIRE have been consisted in applying pressure to the district.

Now, Deapsin has followed SDUSD’s brainless lead. Deadspin recently attacked the NFL for not speaking out against the Kansas City Chiefs for one of its fans arriving in “blackface.”

Libs of TikTok’s Twitter presciently asked “Why is @Deadspin @CarronJPhillips [the author of the Deadspin piece] trying to ruin this little kid’s life? They’re accusing him of blackface but conveniently left out his full face which was painted for the game[.]”

LibsofTikTok also quickly pointed out a double standard in Phillips’ alleged past statements.

Even when confronted with his distortions, Phillips remained undeterred. Phillips heightened the drama by stating that the fact that half of the boy’s face is red actually makes it worse!

How does it make it worse? Phillips could not say.

Unsurprisingly, Phillips declared his own moral rectitude, despite clearly being in the wrong–– and then turned off the comments on his post so that he could not be called out further. Ya know… like ya do… when you are telling the truth.

This makes one wonder what is the quantity of black on someone’s face sufficient to be smeared as a “racist” in “blackface”. Is a woman wearing mascara sufficiently darkened to be in blackface? What if someone ripped off Adele’s red lipstick and smoky eye after “Hello” came out in 2015? Will editorialists and educators soon be canceling “problematic” 17th-century lords who covered syphilis sores with fake beauty marks?

Oh no! What about Marilyn Monroe's mole? Or blackened tilapia? Or people in black and white photos? Will anyone be safe from the mendacity of idiots with keyboards and meaningless college degrees?

It should surprise no one that Phillips has a degree in African American Studies and a Master’s of Communication, according to his LinkedIn. It should also surprise no one that the principal who suspended J.A. and once expressed his concern and empathy for how middle schoolers have “a lot going on emotionally and physically”, would single-handedly lead the charge in publicly adding the greatest pressure possible to a child in his care.

This is who American education is taking in and this is who American education is putting out.

When powerful men consistently use their power to unrepentantly target and attack innocent children, one must wonder how they got this way. Perhaps Ayn Rand was correct when she identified the university as the source of all of today’s evils.
