snip-_"On Monday, museum officials said the man's costume was "completely unacceptable and runs counter to everything the museum believes." The statement continued, "We stand against antisemitism and all forms of bigotry and discrimination."

snip-" Statements from the Children's Museum and Madison police said the man has cognitive disabilities.

"His work with the museum over the past 10 years has been closely supervised, coached, and supported. It is our understanding that he believed his costume to be mocking Hitler," the museum said in the statement."


snip-"The man's mother told the Wisconsin State Journal on Tuesday that she's grateful for the statements by the Madison Children's Museum and Madison Police Department."

1. Another quote from the museum

"The museum's statement said that its staff still hopes to engage the man in a restorative justice process "that would redress the harm done to the community while allowing him to understand the effects of his actions and accept accountability."

5. Possibly because of his cognitive issues.

Maybe the challenge here for us all is twofold:

1. Demonstrating our opposition to fascism and Nazis and support of Jewish people.

2. Demonstrating acceptance and care of individuals with cognitive challenges.

8. My problem with cognitive issues

Did he decide on this "costume" on his own? How, when and who helped him with not only choosing Hitler, but also acquiring the outfit and props to do so?? Was Hitler even on his radar to emulate?

9. Your questions are good questions.

Immediate punishment of the person who may have the cognitive issues seems to have resulted in these questions not being investigated, at least not yet.

10. If the museum was involved in "restorative" methods wouldn't that mean the mother was involved too?

If so the mother is to blame too if the son living with mother.

Snip-"The Iron County School District is also investigating the incident. It said in a statement it was “taking this matter seriously” and “will take appropriate action once that investigation is complete.”

“Based on the information we have obtained, preliminary findings indicate the individuals in blackface are not students enrolled in Iron County schools,” the statement reads. “Our district and schools promote inclusiveness and acceptance and denounce all forms of discrimination and racism whether those actions are on campus or off campus, in person or online.”

Jeanetta Williams, the president of the NAACP Salt Lake City chapter, said Tuesday that she spoke with Cedar City police — and that they, with the Iron County School District, had identified everyone in the video as students enrolled in Iron County schools, she said. That information has yet to be corroborated with officials.

The video was initially uploaded to a private TikTok account before being widely distributed on various social media platforms. It shows three young people with striped inmate costumes wearing blackface, who when approached by a woman filming, laugh off her concerns."
