I mean that's quite possibly the reason the school is closed, but the fact they have to be closed in the first place is ridiculous.
Comparing what this group of goddamn teenagers did to the reaction of everyone is ridiculous. Two people from the same school at an three years ago, ergo likely unrelated to anyone in this entire fiasco, painting their entire body black for a blackout basketball game isn't blackface imo, but even if it was, I don't see how that changes anything about the people involved in this event. They weren't even protesting against abortion at the time this whole thing happened. If wearing a stupid hat and having stupid political beliefs is enough to justify everything that's happened to these kids I think that's pretty freaking sad.
Let me tell you exactly what it is. A shitty and pathetic cop out.
Since the story about the kid at the protest isn't what people made it out to be, someone actually went digging through this schools history and posted this to somehow be vindicated and justify just the lying and the horrible treatment these kids have received. Because a kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time and wearing a MAGA hat, this somehow justifies a giant moral crusade involving digging through the schools history looking for anything that is not politically correct or even slightly racist.
Worse yet, there's clear video at this point that shows Phillips to be the lying sack of excrement that he is, but some are such slaves to identity or their political narrative, that in the case of "native american protestor vs. white pro-choice kid in a MAGA hat" they cannot comprehend, even with video to the contrary mind you, that the kid could be in the right. It's freaking insane.
