Miami pre-school teacher paints kids in black face for Black History Month

https://www.local10.com/news/local/2023/02/14/parents-outraged-after-teacher-paints-pre-schoolers-in-blackface-for-black-history-month/

Parents are pulling their kids out of a preschool in the Little River neighborhood of Miami after photos on the school’s messaging app captioned “Black History Month” showed children in blackface.
Courtney Politis says she’s never had a problem with Studio Kids @ Little River until a few days ago.
“One of my closest friends contacts me, whose son is in the class, and is, like, ‘You won’t believe what they just did today?’ "

what goes through the heads of people who choose to do such things.

Are they just that clueless? Are they trying to be controversial? Are they just insanely stupid? Or is it just racism.

Because...WHAT. THE. FUCK.?

It’s easily found, however, but I don’t have time to look right now. I’d like to know more about this person, who is so oblivious that preschoolers would end up in blackface. For photographs. WTAF?!?

To my earlier comment about the reporter…
I’m glad the owner didn’t get named in the article because it would have given the RW media something to squawk about, deflect, and even claim bias due to the race of the reporter.

Naming the owner will occur - that’s certain. Just glad it didn’t happen there.
