A SCHOOL in Westchester, New York, has come under fire for a cartoon that was handed out to students depicting modern-day cops as slave owners and the Ku Klux Klan.
Christopher Moreno, who teaches 11th graders at Westlake High School, handed out a sheet containing a series of cartoons.
The first cartoon is a panel of five depictions of a man kneeling on a black man. The man kneeling over the handcuffed black man is depicting in various outfits, including as a member of the KKK, a slave owner, a sheriff and a police officer.
In the last two sketches, the black man says "I can't breathe" - what George Floyd said when he was knelt on by then-police cop Derek Chauvin.
“My daughter showed me the paper. I said, `What is this?! You’ve got to be kidding me!’ Westlake mom Ania Paternostro told the NY Post.
“This cartoon compares the police to the KKK. It’s an attack on the police.
