Was the painting offensive? What’s you view?
Weiskopf regularly speaks at School Board meetings to advocate for the rights of Black and LGBTQ students, and to decry censoring LGBTQ-themed books and books on racism. But she said there was no contradiction between that advocacy and her painting over the student’s antisemitic parking space. Andrea Weiskopf, a Virtual Distance Learning teacher, previously told the Times-Mirror she painted over the parking space on Aug. 12 because she believed it was a visual depiction of the phrase, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which she deems antisemitic. Weiskopf, who was charged with misdemeanor destruction of property, didn’t paint over the Palestinian flag. https://www.loudountimes.com/0local-or-not/1local/palestinian-map-repainted-on-students-parking-space/article_636b5458-8a63-11ef-955c-8bd34aa3814b.html |

| Wow. Seems like not the greatest idea by the school to allow the painting at all. |

Kids painting their assigned school spaces is a local tradition. |

Kids get their own spaces? I had no idea this was a thing.
I don’t think she should have been charged. It’s an outside space in a public place. There is no property that was destroyed. Having said that, I don’t have an issue with what it says, if kids do this to their own spaces and it’s a thing. |

| Looking at that picture of Weiskopf it is a wonder she can do anything physical. |
