A SCHOOL in Westchester, New York, has come under fire for a cartoon that was handed out to students depicting modern-day cops as slave owners and the Ku Klux Klan.
Christopher Moreno, who teaches 11th graders at Westlake High School, handed out a sheet containing a series of cartoons.
The first cartoon is a panel of five depictions of a man kneeling on a black man. The man kneeling over the handcuffed black man is depicting in various outfits, including as a member of the KKK, a slave owner, a sheriff and a police officer.
In the last two sketches, the black man says "I can't breathe" - what George Floyd said when he was knelt on by then-police cop Derek Chauvin.
“My daughter showed me the paper. I said, `What is this?! You’ve got to be kidding me!’ Westlake mom Ania Paternostro told the NY Post.
“This cartoon compares the police to the KKK. It’s an attack on the police.

Sandy Cortez alumni and 98 percent white and male 150k a year. The artist actually used a character from jango unchained lol. Real deep thinker.
Promise an investigation? I am looking at the investigation. Fired!!
If parents were more involved this propaganda wouldn’t happen
While it may make you uncomfortable, and may be distasteful, the cartoon does an excellent job of showing how racism is systemic and built into the system. That even though people may say they are not racist, that it has been built into our very way of life.
Sorry, I’m outta. The first post I read here was about the “n” word. Oh no! While reading that, the tv had another about “blacks”. Now, the second post is black. I have done it before and it’s time again to take a break. I have had about enough of a certain race that is so poor, poor, me. Some are offended by what has happened to someone else or something they don’t know anything about because it hasn’t be established yet. So, with that lack of information the only reaction a certain race has is to hit the street and burn down the community that serves them. Then you have a bunch of ignorant White youths that are minds of mush (Rush) that seem to think the thing to do is join up with vigilantes and burn baby burn. Sorry got to take a break before I go postal. A man’s got to know his limitations (Eastwood).
So much truth to this.
So the professor at Duquesne is on paid leave and this teacher is still teaching??? WTF? Real "equal" justice there.
Agree 100%. Don’t forget the fact that they are complaining about slavery when they are not old enough to have been one or know of any. But they have this mindset they should be compassionated for something in history. Yet their mind is so slow, they want to erase the same history that they want to be paid for. I think if I were seeking funds for history, I’d try to preserve that history. Lol
Remember when Tuesday was nighttime watching with Happy Days' and Laverne and Shirley on ABC?
Now everyday seems to be nothing but awful news, hatred, finger pointing, etc.
Civil unrest has been the new norm - not COVID.
Like that black felon was the only person that has had that take down technique used on them. And like it was only used on black people. That is a false narrative, and only ignorant, power hungry politicians and special interest groups are pushing it, at the expense of the rest of the country.
7:55 does not make me feel one bit uncomfortable It's hysterical to me that people are so dumbed down to believe that cartoon. What is more concerning is that you are either a liar or an ignoramus. Maybe both.
Fact is there is no comparison. Another fact is blm has caused more destruction in black neighborhoods and more black deaths then the police and the kkk combined ever have ever will And if you are honest you will admit this. You won't though because you people haven't had a moral person in your lives ever and being honest isn't in your dna.
Blacks major difficulty in life is that they have real issues when it comes to being honest. The police aren't running around murdering blacks. It's a lie to say the police are. Almost every single one of the deaths are 100 percent justified. Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar. When the death isn't justified justice has been served. To say this isn't true is also a lie.
Blacks have historically lied and used racism as an excuse for their own bad decisions in life. This have become generational now since there are very few blacks alive who have had a real positive role model in their life. It would also help if they would walk the walk instead of just talking the talk when it comes to Christianity. Most are being dishonest when they say they are Christians. Real Christians do not live their lives as if God doesn't have eyes like most of them do. The lack of fathers in the households and the illegitimate birth rate is proof of the sin filled lives most lead.
At the end of the day tho ones who will suffer from all of this nonsense are the black communities. And they deserve to suffer the consequences of blacks lies. The black on black shootings and murder rate will explode once again It is God's punishment to an immoral lying race. Their youth will be running around unfettered blowing each others brains out. Many black children will die. But oh well. They aren't deserving of anything better then war zones
7:55 Please stop. There is no systemic racism. Life is what you make it. Stop blaming everyone else for your poor life choices. Blacks have just as many if not more opportunities as any other race in the US. After all we had a black president. If he can do it any black can do it. Bottom line. Fix your culture and then maybe you will see a difference.
Inappropriate but not inaccurate. This is how the police force developed. Tell me why officers are throwing up white nationalist symbols at protests.

Most blacks are incredibly ignorant and most all are liars. They have been dumbded down and are too dumb to know it. Like lynchings for instance Most are such ignoramuses that they think they own lynchings. Many whites were lynched by whites as well but because they are race who almost all are void of all morals and honesty they won't admit this. They try and make others think they were the only ones lynched. They are disgraceful and if they did have morals they would be ashamed at the constant lies that come out of their putrid rank mouths.
10:51 Say it louder for those in the back. The fact is most blacks have not ever had a moral person in their lives ever They are taught to lie. They are taught to kill each other. They are taught to be whores. They are taught to be thugs. There is no cultural consequence for making bad choices. This means it's accepted. They are taught to lie and say it's racism
7:55 - before you lecture us on systematic racism, make sue address the 71% black on black crime, black fatherless homes, and chronic diseases acquired by the black community due to various unhealthy lifestyles. Give us all a call when you are finished, and then we can address the fact that more white makes are killed by police officers annually, than the current narrative put for by BLM, which makes it sound like LEOs wake up every day looking to shoot someone of color.
What? I thin blue line flag????? The American flag? Come on. Not f-ing true at all. Lies. I come from a law enforcement family. I’m black and my husband, a law enforcement officer is white. Not true. Not true. Not true. Grow the F up and comply with officers demands.
White nationalist symbols at protests? Are the black officers doing this too? Because the majority of NYC/ DC officers are minorities. White nationalist symbols like a battering ram? A night stick? A taser? How are they able to hold a flag or any symbol while they are taking frozen water bottles, bricks, rocks, fireworks and spit in their faces? They are too busy trying to go home alive, after working to protecting you.
