Teacher facing criticism after posing as Kanye West in blackface. |
He and his wife wanted to go as America's most talked about reality couple. Unfortunately he put on the coal and started doing the "nah nah".
Heath Marrow is apologizing to the junk food media after his wife posted the picture of him in blackface as the rapper/producer/celebrity agitator Kanye West.
It soon made it to Reddit and went viral. Now his school is investigating the incident and may fire Marrow out the cannon.
He's a primary school educator who loves his job. He loves to teach and he has "many black friends".
“I didn’t know dressing up as a celebrity couple would cause so much controversy,” his wife Shannon Morrow told the junk food media. “There was no malicious intent in this costume. It’s for HALLOWEEN, the one time a year it is okay. Some of my husband’s best friends are black. There was no racial intent whatsoever.”
So as in "I'm not a racist" fashion, Heath and Shannon issue an apology to the local junk food media that covers the Huntsville-Decatur area.
To whom this may concern:
I would like to first apologize for my error in judgment. My intentions were not malicious or directed toward any certain group of people. I would also like to say that everyone who knows my character and knows my heart, knows that I have never seen color in my life. I wasn’t raised or taught that way and do not raise my children that way. I see people for who they are, and my wife and I go out of our way to help anyone we can in my profession as an educator. When deciding to dress up for a Halloween party, my wife and I made a decision based on celebrities and the political climate today. I do not want this to reflect on my school or school system based on my poor decision that I made. Again I apologize and this will not happen again.
Sincerely,
Heath Morrow
Kanye and his celebrity agitator wife Kim Kardashian-West have been in the news for their wacky family drama and the second bump her belly. There's talk about friction between the two.
Is divorce on the way says the junk food media?
For one thing, I don't believe anything on the internet. Second, who cares?
They are right now consoling Khloe in the wake of her ex-hubby Lamar Odom's tragic accident.
They care less about some nobody in Alabama.
Morrow, a 5th-grade teacher at Chestnut Grove Elementary School, went to a private Halloween party over the weekend with his wife.
Morrow's boss the superintendent Ed Nichols said the district is investigating the incident.
"We are saddened as a district by the action of a member of our staff that have offended members of our community, and most of all, have taken away from the focus of our children and the good things that are going on in our school district and with our children," Nichols said.
The country's most talked about celebrity couple got rumors of divorce in the air. |
Nichols wouldn't comment on the teacher's current employment status with the school.
"As a school district, we are looking into this issue and seeking advice from our legal counsel, and I want to make sure that all the citizens of our community know that we do not condone this action or any action that would bring any offense to a person based on their race, their religion, or any other matter," Nichols said.
Nichols also didn't say anything about follow-up actions.
"Due to the ongoing investigations, I cannot talk about those procedures. However, I do plan to meet with leaders in our community to discuss this issue and seek their advice and their counsel on what we can do as a school district, for our staff and our students, to do a better job of being sensitive to those around us and their feelings," said Nichols.
