California School’s ‘Blackface’ Accusation Backfires – Lawsuit Settled! A 13-year-old boy was wrongfully accused of wearing blackface at a football game, leading to suspension and a ban from sports events at Muirlands Middle School in California. The so-called "blackface" was actually eye black—a common sports accessory used to reduce glare.

His parents fought back, filing a lawsuit against the school, arguing that the false allegations could have haunted their son for life. On February 24, 2025, the school settled the case, officially expunging his record and clearing his name. Attorney Karin Sweigart stated, "The false allegations could have followed him for decades."

This case raises serious concerns about overreach in school discipline and the rush to judgment in politically sensitive cases. Should schools be held accountable for false accusations like this?
