Az City Councilman Who Wanted Latino Removed from Mural Fired by Radio
A few days ago I told you about an effort by racists to have portraits of non-white kids removed from a mural in Prescott, Az. The mural was to encourage children to preserve the environment and featured four children’s faces, one of which was a Latino. The principal of the school the mural was being painted ordered the artists to “lighten” the face of the Latino so it would appear white.
A city councilman with a radio show attacked the mural for depicting the community as multiracial. Steve Blair decried the Politically Correct inclusion of non-whites on the mural.
Blair has now been fired from his radio job and voters have started a recall campaign to remove him from office. The school’s principal has reversed his order for a whites only mural following a large demonstration organized by parents at the school.
