"The ridiculous woke California school honestly tried to ruin a kid's life because they were so stupidly woke."

Wish there had been a monetary settlement as well.

He said he was wearing eye black, a common practice in many sports ...

Those who accused him of wearing black face, trying to ruin this young man's life should be severely punished.

Yet California is all for men appropriating female identities.

Well, it looks like he got a little exhuberant with the Eye Black—but that is to be expected from a middle schooler—chance to wear face paint.

In CaCaLand you can’t fling a marshmallow without hitting someone willing to say they were hurt — for the dosh.

Exactly—boys just wanna have fun—right? I mean if it was purple and pink covering with sparkles they would have been giving the kid the keys to the city...

We need to stop coddling blacks, women, homosexuals, etc.

So what if he was? Are there makeup color restrictions for what girls put on their faces?

Wearing blackface is a resume enhancement for becoming a leftist extremist Canadian Premier.

Guessing the people offended weren’t black either.

Most of the time when I have heard this stuff come up around black people, they have responded with an eyeroll and said whatever. This kind of woke BS does nothing to address the real issues minorities face. So far, Trump has been the closest thing they’ve gotten from government to improving their lives.

I would be surprised of many boys his age could articulate the problem with “black face.” The school board men need to be horsewhipped for a little better common sense.

Isn’t the precedent on this the case of the kid wearing the Kansas City Chiefs makeup?

So if he “identified” as a girl, you’d let him shower with the girls, and when Fauxcahontas “identified” as a Native American, she got a Harvard professorship and an insane amount of money for extremely little, but this kid will be bludgeoned for putting black on his face.

OK, we understand them now.

I doubt the kid had any racial motive, but that is WAY more eye black than is commonly used. It is usually just a smudge below each eye, not something that covers most of your face.

The filthy bastards on the left could have totally ruined this boy’s life for their insane delusions. Why don’t they just admit that their goal is the elimination of all Whiteys?

California is a big place. It would be useful to know where in California this leftist lunacy took place. Bakersfield or Alturas are not the same ideologically as Marin County or Los Angeles. Even Massachusetts has a few pockets of semi-sanity.
