Y’all know what time it is … ROLL IT!!!
An Oregon school worker gets suspended for up to work in blackface.
A Newberg School District staff member painted her face with iodine – get this – to represents Rosa Parks to protest against the school district’s vaccine mandate.
I wish we had her picture! The employee was sent home and placed on administrative leave.
The Newberg School District released the following statement:
“Friday, one of our employees reported for work in Blackface. The employee was removed from the location, and HR has placed the employee on administrative leave. The administration of Newberg Public Schools condemns all expressions of racism.
It is important to remember how Blackface has been used to misrepresent Black communities and do harm. We acknowledge the violence this represents and the trauma it evokes regardless of intention.”
Newberg Public Schools’ Superintendent Dr. Joe Morelock also released a statement:
“I am horrified, angry and ashamed that this happened, as is nearly every other staff member. The students of color in Newberg deserve so much more. This goes against everything I and the vast majority of NSD staff believe, and is unfathomably offensive.”
This is not the first racially motivated incident in the school district this year. A student used Snapchat to host a “slave trade”.
