The Professors Wife (Educating Lisa #1)

Why is this person still on the LifeAtPurdue payroll?

Lisa Stillman cannot educate students of all backgrounds with a Facebook profile picture that shows her in blackface with an offensive costume. Bring justice to campus! The student reported the photo on November 10, To be clear, blackface has its roots firmly planted in American racism, including and especially minstrel shows back in the 19th century that featured white actors who painted their faces black to act like slaves and newly freed Black people.

It was these minstrel shows that largely contributed to the many negative, racial stereotypes that have been associated with Black people for well over a century. In any event, what we can say firmly is that, at Purdue, we do not punish speech, particularly when off-campus speech is expressed by an employee speaking as a private citizen.

How can Purdue advertise itself as a haven for diversity when it protects a staff member who is unable to respect that diversity? Moreover, no student should ever have to see an educator, let alone anybody, in blackface. This is what prompted me to look on Facebook and I found the blackface photo on her public profile.
