A California middle school student was suspended for allegedly wearing “blackface” to a football game in October 2023. His record has since been cleared as part of a settlement with the school, as reported by the NY Post. He claimed he was merely wearing eye black, a typical practice in various sports.
Daniel Ameduri filed a lawsuit against Muirlands Middle School in La Jolla, California, on behalf of his son, J.A.. The incident wich took place on October 13, 2023, led to a two-day suspension and a ban from attending district sporting events.
“The false allegations of blackface on J.A.’s permanent school records could have haunted him for decades, affecting both his education and future career opportunities,” Karin Sweigart, J.A.’s lawyer and Dhillon Law Group counsel, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
The settlement was approved by the court on February 24, effectively eliminating J.A.’s two-day suspension from his record. As part of the agreement, district officials and employees are prohibited from mentioning the suspension in any communications with others. “It’s a relief that the school district has finally corrected this injustice,” Sweigart added. “No student should have to fight to clear their name over baseless accusations, which is why organizations like the Center for American Liberty exist—to ensure fairness and protect fundamental rights.”
J.A., who is currently a freshman in high school, was in 8th grade at the time of the incident. In a statement to Fox News Digital, Mark Trammell, Center for American Liberty executive director said, “We are so proud of J.A. and his family. When students and parents stand up to this woke nonsense in schools, they win. Let J.A.’s win be a lesson to students and parents everywhere.”
