Oregon School Staffer Shows Up In Blackface To Protest Vaccine Mandate

The antic by a woman allegedly trying to portray Rosa Parks is just the latest in a string of recent race-related controversies in the Newberg School Dis...
A staff member at an Oregon elementary school showed up to work in blackface on Friday, pretending to be Rosa Parks and somehow rationalizing her behavior as protesting the school district’s vaccine mandate.
Lauren Pefferle, a special education assistant at Mabel Rush Elementary in Newberg, Oregon, darkened her face with iodine, according to The Newberg Graphic. A fellow school staff member told the news outlet, which first reported the story, that the woman who came to work in blackface was Pefferle.
The unnamed staff member reportedly said Pefferle’s reasoning was that she was trying to look like Rosa Parks, the Black woman who helped launch the civil rights movement when she protested racial segregation in the public transit system in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955. Pefferle reportedly wanted her racist attempt at imitating Parks to serve as a protest of the Newberg School District’s vaccine mandate, according to the Graphic.
