A blackface incident at a Whitewater High volleyball game prompted an apology and calls for accountability and training.
A blackface incident at a Whitewater High School volleyball game sparked widespread condemnation, prompting Fayette County Schools Superintendent Dr. Jonathan Patterson to apologize, calling the act deeply offensive and acknowledging the district’s failure to prevent non-students with black-painted faces from entering the gym.
Though attendees complied after being asked to remove the paint, community leaders, including NAACP members and State Rep. Derrick Jackson, criticized the apology as insufficient, demanding accountability, policy changes, and mandatory diversity training.
The event, allegedly a themed "blackout game," drew backlash for perpetuating racist blackface traditions.
The district pledged to review its code of conduct and collaborate with the NAACP on staff and event personnel training to improve cultural awareness and prevent future incidents.
