Texas student forced to remove slave costume

[TexasTowelie]

TEXAS - (KPRC) A Texas high school student says he was forced to change his outfit after showing up to school dressed as a slave for "Decades Day" at his high school on Tuesday.

Brian Ibe is a senior at Ridge Point High School in Missouri City.

This week is spirit week, in honor of homecoming. Each day, the students dress up in costume according to the day's theme.

On Tuesday, the theme was "Decades Day," and Ibe showed up to school wearing a ball and chain and a shredded T-shirt splattered in fake blood, and he was carrying a pitchfork and bag of cotton.

1. I give him high marks for creativity

He could have picked the 1910-20 decade and shown up in blackface with a banjo. Yes, black performers had to use blackface.

I doubt either was what the school was going for.

2. Yeah, the school wouldn't want to make people "uncomfortable ".
