https://nypost.com/2022/02/16/mass-preschool-closes-after-blackface-classroom-lesson/

Saying that the school will seek diversity in staffing in the future pretty much clinches that this is what your are telling me. While this is a possibility ( that someone thought this was cute and thought he/she could get away with it) I am still waiting to hear the teacher's side of the story.

The nypost article indicates that the shit hit the fan on Feb 11.

Blackface specifically refers to imitating black people and it is this imitation which I find offensive. I am still waiting to hear from the teacher.

Yeah, uh, blackface is not racially sensitive. This fiasco could, at a stretch, have maybe been a case of well-intended but extremely ignorant; but that's the nicest possible outcome here. Even that outcome is grounds for, at the very least, taking that teacher out of their current role for better training on these kind of issues.

And, realistically speaking, it's more likely that it wasn't so well-intentioned. I'm not going to outright assume "there is no possible way this teacher didn't know", but I'll certianly say that it's extremely unlikely that they didn't.


I am not omniscient like you. This is my answer. I need to hear from the other parents and the teacher involved.

If that was a "blackface" exercise then it was racist no matter what teacher's intentions. However, we have not heard the teacher's side of the story.

Let me point out that a popular North Shore high school teacher was fired for having students read a pro-Palestian graphic novel which is critically acclaimed. It turned out that a minority of parents were hot and bothered and that most parents were on the fence and more parents were in support than against.

The event in question could be racist but it could also be racially sensitive and the complaining parent is a virulent racist.

I should be more precise. Chicago segregates by having neighborhood post offices. Each post office gets so many mail clerks, so many mail handlers, so many mail carriers.

My neighborhood has houses built in back yards and side yards, has floors added, has converted garages and most apartments have subdivided into front and rear.

I suspect that my neighborhood post office does not get more staff as the population increases.

Go to your local post office. Whenever I have issues I go in. At least at mine everyone is very helpful.

This is true actually.

For me it has been all of my non letters in the last 2 weeks. The post office needs to give a heads-up to people who do not do the route regularly.

There is a local issue responsible for misdelivery. The entire south section of Chicago has numbered streets that are first streets and then places.

23rd st, 23rd pl and so on. However in my neighborhood the addresses are along streets and places whereas in newer areas the lots were divided along north-south arteries. The upshot of this is that only in a small part of Chicago do you have to deliver to 1905 W. 23rd Place and have to distinguish from 1905 W. 23rd Street.
