As one that facepalms all the PC out there, I don't see this a PC thing. This is a dumb parent issue. Letting your 6 yr old go to school in black face is stooopid. Their surprise of the reaction confirms we are dealing with Parentaltards.

Is their last name Danson?

In light of the subject matter.. I give the kid an 'A' for going into the assignment full tilt.

They should be encouraging kids to venture into their education, delve into creativity and engulf themselves in school projects.

Instead - draw false lines to cross and inhibit the actions.. likely because some of the other kids crapped out with their projects and came to school in their everyday t-shirt, shorts and sneakers to present their projects.

another sad day in education and the arts.. such intellectuals our educators are.

Yep.. and she looked totally humiliated and completely offended by the good gesture.

Another instance once again taken out of context by the 'intellectuals' of society.

IMO the school is totally wrong on all accounts in this case. As the article stated:

"Second-graders at Meridian Ranch Elementary school in Colorado Springs were asked to dress up as a historical figure for "Wax Museum Day." King was assigned to dress the part of Martin Luther King Jr., and according to Channel 13 News, King's mother Michell King-Roca, she says her son was very excited."


The school were the ones who told the kids to dress up as the figure, as well as they were the ones who assigned the kid to be MLK. What would have happened if the kid made no attempt to dress the part. Some might find offense in that as well. The kid and family did not put on black face to offend or with a sense of malice. All the PC in the world now is insane

how can you blame the educators when the principle was doing it in response to complaints from others in the district?

What if the kid was asked to dress up as Genghis Khan, then shows up drenched in blood, carrying a pike topped with a classmate's head?


School or parents fault?

IMO it would be on the parents in that scenario for obvious reasons. The kid who dressed as MLK did not portray him in a disrespectful way or in a way that could be interpreted he meant malice. But I will pose the same scenario to you. Say he dresses as Genghis Khan sans the blood and pike but makes his eyes appear oriental. Would he or should he be told to change?

its almost as bad as the white kid in town that got suspended from school, because he applied for the African American scholarship.
he was an exchange student from South Africa. technically, he was the only "African-American" actually at the school

A old girlfriend of mine, a thin fair skinned blonde blue eyed total knockout, was adopted. All her birth records and SS application says 'Race: Unknown'.

In college she applied and received a bunch of minority scholarships based on her race. She was required to attend various interview/screening for some applications. The interviewers were always at first were pretty freaked out when she walked in and introduced herself. Almost every time, after her standard smooth talk, she would walk away with yet another check. It was hilarious.
