Arizona does it again!

School's diversity to be whitewashed.

Quote :

A group of artists has been asked to lighten the faces of children depicted in a giant public mural at a Prescott school.

The project's leader says he was ordered to lighten the skin tone after complaints about the children's ethnicity. But the school's principal says the request was only to fix shading and had nothing to do with political pressure.

Oh, yeah right. Pull the other one, it plays music.

Quote :

R.E. Wall, director of Prescott's Downtown Mural Project, said he and other artists were subjected to slurs from motorists as they worked on the painting at one of the town's most prominent intersections.

"We consistently, for two months, had people shouting racial slander from their cars," Wall said. "We had children painting with us, and here come these yells of (epithet for Blacks) and (epithet for Hispanics)."

Kids. They were shouting epithets at kids. I swear, just when I think I've heard it all something like this comes along.

Quote :

Faces in the mural were drawn from photographs of children enrolled at Miller Valley, a K-5 school with 380 students and the highest ethnic mix of any school in Prescott. Wall said thousands of town residents volunteered or donated to the project, the fourth in a series of community murals painted by a group of artists known as the "Mural
Mice."

The mural represents the school. You change the mural, then you are admitting that somehow you are ashamed of the diversity at that school. Ashamed of the children that you are supposed to be teaching and leading.

For that Mr. Lane, you should at the very least be dismissed from your position.

Jesus fucking Christ, Arizona. Is there nothing you won't sink to?

Can you imagine the public outcry if they had chosen to base the mural on the school with the lowest "Ethnic mix"?

By making a Conscious decision to choose the most ethnic school they could find, they show that they are racist too. Heavens forfend they choose some school that actually matches local demographics, or even go with a random school (or even a random selection of students). You might say "oh, WAAA, WAA, it's just a mural." but then, the whole gist of this story is people getting their panties in a wad about alterations to a friggin' mural. You want to bring your racial preferences into this, that's cool. Нравится вам или нет, но история на нашей стороне. Мы вас закопаем!

Moronic troll is moronic, why'd I even bother.

It's not racist to have non-white people in a fucking mural, for fuck's sake.

Nobody chose the school. This was a volunteer effort.

that post is literally what the program block of that one Krusty The Clown show that had Worker & Parasite airing was

Seule, I love you, but your sig line is stretching the page. (It took me a few threads to realize it was you.)

I wonder what those people who swore up and down Arizona's immigration law wasn't racist have to say about this.

That they're not related, dumbass.

Wanna bet, sparky?

1) The City of Prescott took down a U.S. Census Bureau banner within the city limits because the banner was written in Spanish (federal law requires all census documents and fliers be printed in both English and Spanish).
2) SB 1070 (AKA "Papers, please") passed.
3) The Superintendent of Public Instruction within the state of Arizona announced that any teacher with a "heavy accent" would be barred from teaching students with Limited English Proficiency.
4) A bill is currently being drafted in the state legislature to attempt and overturn the 14th Amendment's Naturalization clause by stating that any child born to illegal immigrants is not a citizen of the United States. (Birthright citizenship predates the founding of the USA, and very few Western countries deny citizenship to anyone born on their soil.)
5) And now this.

Even Mr. Magoo could see through this.

=O Oh no! I'm sorry! Is this any better? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

...I have no idea what you changed.

Was it the Harley quote?

Arizona is like the new Florida, only with slightly less shootings.

Also, the hubby says, "Arizona is to immigration what South Dakota is to abortion."

And what South Carolina is to fidelity, good manners and common sense.

Just for the record, my translator widget says...

Pleases you or not, but history on our side. We will bury you!

Good news:

1) The Principal and District Superintendent have announced that the mural will be left alone and/or restored to its original look.

2) The City Councilman who stirred up the controversy has been fired from the radio station that aired his show.

California tried this in the 90's, which immediately made me wonder: what if a child is born to an illegal immigrant and legal immigrant or U.S. citizen? Would the child be a citizen or not?
