Last month, a middle school in California suspended a student for sporting black face paint at a football game, deeming it a “hate incident,” as per the suspension notice from the school’s principal.
Oh look… another shooting. Yay.
Principal Jeff Luna of Muirlands Middle School also prohibited the eighth-grade student from attending San Diego Unified School District sporting events for the remainder of the year, citing the alleged blackface incident, according to the student’s father, as reported by CalCoastNews. The father, who preferred anonymity, contends that a photograph clearly shows his son wearing face paint similar to that worn by some football players, distinct from traditional blackface.
The incident occurred on October 13 when the student, during his leisure time and not as part of a school function, attended a game between La Jolla High School and Morse High School. The black face paint was worn in part for a TikTok video, and the father asserts that the night transpired without any trouble, with no accusations of blackface directed at his son during the game. The student’s father even mentioned that a Black security guard encouraged his son to add more face paint.

However, five days after the game, the father was summoned to the principal’s office, where Principal Luna asserted that the face paint constituted blackface, particularly given Morse High School’s predominantly Black student body. Luna imposed a two-day suspension on the eighth grader for violating the school’s hate incidents policy related to offensive comments and intent to harm, as outlined in the suspension notice. The notice simplifies the incident, stating that the student “painted his face black at a football game.”
In response, the father is appealing the suspension, expressing concern about false accusations and potential mistreatment from educators as his son progresses through the school system. He is determined to clear his son’s name, emphasizing his commitment to addressing the situation.
