Port Washington Schools Suspend Student In “Blackface” Controversy

The father of the Port Washington High School student who was suspended in the latest “blackface” controversy says the images weren’t racially-motivated.  He printed pictures of Nicolet basketball star Jalen Johnson and students in the crowd at Tuesday’s game held them up.  The father says they were just trying to distract Johnson while he shot free throws.  The school district is investigating.  Port Washington High School Principal Eric Burke has said district officials are “very disappointed in the conduct of the students.”
