MLK Black Face Causes Stir At School

A second grader was removed from school by his parents after the principal objected to him showing up in black face to do a presentation on the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

Sean King had a vision for his project, part of "Wax Museum Day" at Meridian Ranch Elementary School in Peyton, Colo., said his mother Michelle King-Roca.

"He said, 'Mom, I want to wear a black suit because that's what he wore, a black tie, a white shirt and also I want to do my face black and wear a mustache," she told ABC affiliate KRDO.

As parents and their pint-sized historical figures waited to file into a classroom on Wednesday, the principal asked King-Roca to remove her son's make-up, she said.

Instead, she ignored the request and waited for Sean's presentation.

King-Roca said she was then called to the principal's office where she, her husband and Sean had a discussion with three school officials. Unsatisfied with the situation, King-Roca pulled her son out of school for the day.

How strange is this? This kids name is Sean King - which is also the name of the white guy who writes those black lives matters race flaming articles for the NY Daily news who by coincidence ALSO makes pretend he is black. I wonder if they are related.

Conservative speaker at College = RIOTS!

Leftist white guy who makes pretend he is black speaks at College = A OKAY!

The quickest way to an ignore attitude is to invoke race.

If someone uses your race as a deterrent, I’ll back you up, otherwise #SiO2.

If some kids “need” a black Santa to relate, don’t some kids similarly need a white MLK to relate.

King-Roca pulled her son out of school for the day.


For the day? I’d be looking for another school or home school.

I have a dream that children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their makeup, but by the content of their character.

The irony of people bashing Jolson for this act is never, ever lost on me... He was a true American.
