Parents outraged at Miami day care that used blackface on kids' faces
"A Miami day care is receiving backlash after parents accused the private child care provider of dressing children in blackface to celebrate Black History Month.
Courtney Politis, whose children are enrolled at Studio Kids Daycare, said another parent notified her of a photo of toddlers whose faces were painted with black face paint.
“She calls me and she’s like, ‘You won’t believe the photos that were sent to me from this classroom,’” Politis told NBC Miami. “... She told me they painted all the kids’ faces black and said, ‘Happy Black History Month.’ I couldn’t believe it. My brain was malfunctioning.”
After viewing the photos, Politis, who is Black and whose children are mixed race, said she sent the photos to the day care’s owner, who responded with, “‘I’m sorry? ... I don’t understand. What’s racist? We don’t use those words,’” Politis recounted. “And the first response is the real response,” she added."
