A Virginia public school district has given a student art award to a drawing portraying a hook-nosed Jewish person carrying a money bag and entitled "Jewish People." The drawing was made as part of a student art class and won an award from Fairfax County Schools. It was on display at the Northern Virginia Community College’s Ernst Community Cultural Center, and celebrated at an awards ceremony.
The drawing portrays a hooked-nose man holding a money bag. The caption reads, "No Jew in the World Understands the Importance of Money."
When a school official was confronted by a concerned member of the local Jewish community, the official responded by blaming President Trump. The school's [teacher's] response said:
This work is not being displayed “ by me”. It was entered by the 17 yr old student and selected by a panel of judges consisting of professional artists, designers and curators. My student is using her freedom of artistic expression to respond to a president who calls Mexicans “rapists” African countries “ Shit Hole Countries” and White Supremacists, “Very Fine People”. She chose to create a portfolio of eight works which are ANTI stereotype. She focuses on Blacks, Whites, Italians, Pakistanis, Jews, Irish etc. Her intent is to point out implicit bias that exists and raises it to the surface in the form of racial ironies. She is pointing out how racism and ugliness is now NORMALIZED by our current president who intends to divide our nation for his own personal gain. Instead of jumping to conclusions and assuming the worst, take a breath. Instead of vilifying me and a 17 year old student, look at your president who is in “your own back yard."
The artist is a 12th-grade student at South County High School in Lorton, Virginia. The display shows that Fairfax County schools bestowed an award on the drawing.
“There is no place in Fairfax County schools for this type of anti-Semitic drawing,” said Michael Ginsberg, a member of the Suburban Virginia Republican Coalition. “Worse, the teacher involved allowed her obvious dislike of President Trump to justify anti-Semitic imagery. Artistic expression is one thing, but justifying inappropriate, anti-Semitic speech by blaming someone else is not a lesson Fairfax County schools should be teaching their students.”
Sadly, antisemitism is alive and well. This is the homepage of the black art teacher who entered this disgusting anti-semitic scrawl by her student into an art competition. The teacher's personal webpage is chock-full of "poor black man shot/beat up by the police" art. Hers is the ultimate in black excuse-making for poor behavior, almost a celebration of it. Personally, I don't think she rates much as an artist, let alone a teacher of art. And it's reprehensible that she uses her students as a captive audience for her anti-white, anti-semitic hatred, and celebrates their own efforts in that genre by choosing those works which are anti-semitic rather than works which are not.
And, considering the rising tide of anti-semitism in this country, clearly demonstrated by the vehement anti-semitic remarks streaming daily from the mouths of the new muzzlime members of Congress, Tlaib and Omar, it should be no surprise that the student "artist" who drew this Sturmer-like garbage, is a MUZZLIME--Yasmin Abuwi.
What the...?!
Talib Omar’s submission no doubt.
Besides the highly inflammatory and inappropriate subject matter the drawing is not that good. I have seen far superior examples of student art work. The only thing that would have justified this was if the assignment was to show examples of how art was used to advance NAZI era anti-Semitism.
More nifty stuff from the Koonman Kommonweath.
The veneer of American civilization has worn down to the wood.
It’s delusional to think E pluribus unum has any basis in reality.
“The veneer of American civilization has worn down to the wood.”

White Supremacists, “Very Fine People”.
Idiot teacher made that one up.
old timers may recognize Nelson Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger
I saw a blurred image of the information card below the disgusting image. One can see the kid has an Arabic name.
As the left and right bubbles collide and a hole opens between them, it will be interesting to see what goes through the hole and in which direction.
let’s see the ‘artist’ do negative drawings of black folks and muslims- No? Freakin coward!
How big was the NEA grant < /sarcasm I think >
What does Coonman think of this?
WOW. Despicable!!
According to Laura Ingraham, a lot of Muslims have moved into Northern Virginia...
