In October 2015, a parent posted to the popular parenting site ScaryMommy.com an article titled "My Daughter's First Day of Preschool" featuring a photograph of her daughter touching a blackboard as she enters the classroom. The post was met with anger and disappointment from commenters for its use of racial stereotypes and apparent disregard for child safety. In this blog post we take a closer look at what happened that day, why it became an internet phenomenon, and why the story has continued to resonate two years later. We also discuss what you can do if your child is misrecognized by cameras or other sensors in public spaces today - so they don't have to meet such shocking real-life implications for their childhood experiences. Brief Overview of the Blackboard Picture IncidentOn October 26, 2015, a mom posted to popular parenting blog ScaryMommy.com a blog post titled "My Daughter's First Day of Preschool" featuring a picture of her daughter on her first day of preschool. The picture shows her daughter's reaction upon seeing blackboards in the classroom for the first time - she had never seen anything like them before. The reaction that all of us would probably have if we were suddenly placed into such an unfamiliar and foreign environment (try imagining yourself stepping into the cabin on the spaceship Enterprise for the first time and trying to figure out what's going on). The mom's blog post immediately went viral, with just over 6000 shares on Facebook in the first 24 hours. The picture has been seen by millions of people around the world since it was originally posted. The post stirred up a lot of controversy when the author received angry messages from fellow parents, some accusing her of racism for using blackface to portray her daughter's imagination in the photo. Although the mom was posting for her own amusement, she made no effort to portray any racist or offensive behavior, and she didn't intend to offend anyone with the photo. The intention was simply to show how much fun their daughter had during her first day at preschool. She asked her daughter what she thought about the desks and the blackboard, and they both had fun imagining that the desks were boats and the blackboard was a river. In her blog post, she never referred to "blackface" nor mentioned racism at all - but was simply illustrating how much fun her daughter had on her first day of preschool. "I posted it on Scary Mommy for my own amusement.. Last year when we had my daughter's first day of preschool we were excited – me, my then-husband, our toddler, and our new baby. We took lots of pictures to remember that momentous occasion. I posted our picture of her walking across the street to preschool with the caption "on the first day of school…/ first day of preschool" You can see she was trying to do something different by doing a self-portrait. She was not trying to make fun of her classmates who were white (in fact, she was proud to be at preschool with classmates who were white) nor did she use blackface. It was her imagination and we wanted to share it with others. cfa1e77820
