Black Face painted on toddlers faces in honor of Black History Month and Desantis does not get why we need AA studies. x "She told me they painted all the kids' faces black and said, 'Happy Black History Month.' I couldn't believe it. My brain was malfunctioning." A couple pulled their child from a Miami daycare after a teacher put the children in blackface. https://t.co/yF3JMFEvcn — NBC 6 South Florida (@nbc6) February 11, 2023 Parents are upset about a preschool teacher in Miami who apparently put blackface on young kids for a Black History Month lesson. Several parents sent the Miami Herald photos of three toddlers at Studio Kids’ Little River with what looked like brown paint on their faces, the Miami Herald reported Saturday. “You should know better as an educator,” Courtney Politis, who is Black and the mother of kids at the school, told the paper. “What else are you teaching our children?” Politis has since taken her kids out of the school, the Herald reported. The text from the teacher was shown was clueless why parents were upset. Because it is racist was the response. If this teacher is this clueless, she has no business teaching small kids or any kids. Why didn’t she just get down on one knee and sing Suwanee to them? Desantis is facing a protest in Florida today about the elimination of Black history studies. This is just one example of why it is SO needed. nypost.com/... What is racist?” an apparently confused Vitale answered before sending a message to all the parents. We sure need this protest today in Tallahassee. x REV.

The guy resigned but only after he was found out in pictures listed at the CNN link which are more than ridiculous and racist. www.cnn.com/... studiokidsmiami.com Our mission is to accompany the children entrusted to us on their journey of growth and exploration.
