LOUISVILLE, KY - North Oldham High School - Cop Hating Artwork Hangs in School
Funny there is no artwork showing a BLACK MALE MURDERING A WHITE PERSON as they DO EVERY DAY IN AMERICA
A parent of a North Oldham High School student is again raising concern over a piece of art that is hanging in his daughter's classroom.
The artwork depicts two scenes: A flashback to 1930 with a member of the Ku Klux Klan wearing a white hood and pointing a gun at an black man with the Confederate flag below it; the other side of the picture says 2015 and features a police officer pointing a gun at an African American child with the American flag below it.
"This Honors English class read the Pulitzer Prize Winning book, 'To Kill A Mockingbird,' by Harper Lee, and were supposed to do art, based on the book," said parent Dave Hamblin in a Facebook post he wrote Tuesday.
"The book is a beautiful piece of art describing social and familial dilemmas of the early 1900s, and has NOTHING to do with the hatred filled propaganda coming from some in this country today," Hamblin wrote. "The 'art' is not from a student in the class, it was from a student last year and the teacher liked it so much she placed it back on the wall."
Oldham County Schools spokeswoman Tracy Green told WDRB on Wednesday morning that the student work on display that has been called into question is in response to an assignment about racial injustice and is a piece by a student from a previous year's class.
