I don' t think insensativity should be punishable. That's a dangerous road you go down. Perhaps people in the community should try to educate these individuals... But punish them!?

Hate to tell you but this is America... We don't (and shouldn't) punish people for being offensive. While the act of blackface might be something you see as wrong it's still a right to be offensive. Since the school recieves public funding it should stay out of the debate. The community on the other hand can protest to their heart's content.
