A California family is suing their son's middle school after administrators accused him of wearing blackface when he put 'war paint' on during a football game.
The eighth-grader from San Diego, only identified as J.A., said there were no issues at the October 13 football game, and that one security guard even told him his war paint should go higher in his face.
But a week later, J.A's parents were informed by Muirlands Middle School's principal Jeff Luna that he would be suspended from classes for two days and banned from going to the district's sporting events.
Daniel Amenduri, J.A's dad, told Fox News on Thursday the disciplinary notice accused J.A. of painting his face black as 'an offensive comment' and 'with intent to harm.'
Principal Luna reportedly told the boy's family the paint was particularly offensive because one of the school's playing was predominantly black.

I'm curious if progressives realize that they are insane or if they really think they're normal.Quote:
J.A. said he was simply wearing paint on his face like many athletes do - and that he used to wear the paint on his face when he lived in Texas.
The family's lawsuit argues J.A. was emulating 'eye black warrior paint' like many athletes do.
Amenduri said he thought the issue would be resolved once he showed principal Luna a picture of J.A. sporting the face paint, but that was not the case, and J.A. was found guilty without an investigation.
'The only people showing absolute racism right now is the school administrators,' J.A.'s outraged father said of the situation, adding that his son did not even know what black face was before the ordeal.
