Public comment at the Forest Hills Public Schools Board of Education meeting lasted nearly two hours Monday evening as angry students, parents and community members sounded off about a recent incident in which a high school student put dark brown makeup on his face.
The incident involving a senior at Forest Hills Northern happened earlier this month. The student, who is white, put makeup for dark complexions on his face in an apparent attempt to make himself appear black. Photos were posted online and were soon shared thousands of times. Offended students and community members said it was an example of blackface.
From your record of past posts, even if I had not put the word in quotes, you would likely in any case want to infuse the topic with highly politicized, expansion of topics which you would see surrounding this reported incident.Why is action in quotes?
That answer makes no sense regarding whether to put the word action with or without quotes.From your record of past posts, even if I had not put the word in quotes, you would likely in any case want to infuse the topic with highly politicized, expansion of topics which you would see surrounding this reported incident.
Perhaps for all of us, saying less is sometimes a viable option?

“We should not be comfortable with these types of behaviors that are essentially rooted in white nationalism and white supremacy,” Cle Jackson, the president of the Grand Rapids chapter of the NAACP, told board members Monday at the packed meeting at Meadowbrook Elementary.
Jackson went on to demand that the student be psychologically evaluated and undergo implicit bias training. He also said the school board should elect a member who is a person of color to help buck what many said was deep-seated racism.
It's good to see that the NAACP is still as authoritarian and idiotically reactionary as ever.
Lol rooted in white nationalism and white supremacy? Good to see they've already figured out this isn't just some dumb kid looking for attention.
Implicit bias training...that feels awfully close to some Orwellian re-education program. The kid is racist, he should be punished for his actions...but we shouldn't be engaging in thought policing.
The kid has 1st Amendment rights of expression (it's not like he yelled fire in a theatre). If we can burn the flag and thus offend millions, he can wear "dark brown face" and offend a few hundred.
I get offended when people don't put their shopping carts away properly, but you don't see me GETTING HYSTERICAL ABOUT IT!
What he does in public is his business...but the school has to be responsible for all students
Does that include their safety?
