A high school teacher in California was placed on administrative leave after he wore blackface in front of his class on Halloween in what appeared to be an imitation of rapper Common.
The episode was amplified on social media Friday, when one of the students in the teacher’s classroom posted a 23-second video of the performance on Twitter. “It hurts to know that this type of cultural insensitivity and lack of cultural awareness still hovers in the background,” the superintendent of the Milpitas Unified School District, Cheryl Jordan, and the principal of Milpitas High School, Francis Rojas, said in a statement. “We are committed to strengthening our school environment through culturally relevant and respectful education designed to address prejudice and racism so that we can prevent bullying and harassment.
