“This mural made students feel invisible because it doesn’t reflect the current student body,”
Social Justice Club in a middle school???? This ain't about the kids, they probably never gave the mural a second thought.....
Several years ago, in another manufactured crisis, Oak Park removed another WPA mural in a school library which was offensive because it depicted children throughout the world in traditional clothing associated with their nations and cultures. No complaints about the Dutch, the Eskimos, the Chinese, or the American children in the painting (the American boy was attired with a straw hat and overalls like Huckleberry Finn) — it was all about the “racist” portrayal of African children in native dress. The painting would not have been inaccurate if republished in “National Geographic Magazine.” It is all about empty virtue signaling and the Left forcing the majority to capitulate.
