Bay Area Jury Awards $1M in St. Francis School Blackface-Acne Mask Case
May 8, 2024, 09:26 PM
A Bay Area jury has awarded $1 million to two students expelled from the exclusive St. Francis Catholic school in California after they were accused of wearing 'blackface'. The students, who were actually wearing green acne medication masks in solidarity with a friend prescribed the treatment, fought the school's decision for four years. The legal victory was supported by the Dhillon Law Group, with attorneys Krista L. Baughman and Karin Sweigart leading the case. The incident initially prompted calls for action at the school due to the perceived racial context.
