Read the MFA’s statement on treatment of students of color during visit | Boston.com
So many things wrong with this. First, I'm not at all surprised this happened in Boston. Being born and raised here, the racism towards black people is undeniable, much of it coming from supposed allies on the left. They pretend they're progressive, driving around with Obama stickers on their Chevy Volts and espousing support for all the usual liberal pet issues, yet segregate themselves from any black contact that isn't compulsory.
Strange as it is, I've actually have more pleasant interactions with the cac-ish, Trump supporting cacs in Boston than I do with liberal whites. I imagine it's because we know where we stand and respect that honesty, which erases the tension that builds up from a constant charade of post-racial harmony.
The "black and brown" comment from the teacher, as much as I sympathize with her, was embarrassing. If it were just "brown" kids, they wouldn't have been treated the same way.
A shame these kids had to be subject to this on what should have been a day of educational fun.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is apologizing after officials at a Dorchester school said students were subjected to racist remarks and profiling during a trip to the institution last week.
“Last week, a number of students on an organized visit encountered a range of challenging and unacceptable experiences that made them feel unwelcome,” the museum said in an open letter on its website on Wednesday. “That is not who we are or want to be.”
Marvelyne Lamy, an English teacher at Davis Leadership Academy, detailed the incidents in a post on Facebook on Monday. She said seventh grade teachers and students took a field trip to the MFA on May 16.
“My students are ALL black and brown,” she wrote.
Her students told her that at the start at the tour, a museum staff member told the middle schoolers what to expect and the rules, “no food, no drink, and no watermelon.”
Lamy said that security guards looked on without action as groups of white students touched artifacts at the museum, while her own middle schoolers were followed through exhibit halls by security personnel.
“It got so bad that I started gathering our students so we could leave,” the teacher wrote. “I was pulling one of my students to come out the exhibit, when she said that one of the visitors made a comment towards her when she was dancing to music included in the exhibit. The visitor said [that] it’s a shame that she is not learning and instead stripping. That’s when I had it. I told them we are leaving right now.”
Lamy said she and her students were standing near the doorway of the Africa exhibit preparing to leave when a woman walked by and said, “Never mind there’s f****** black kids in the way.”
All the incidents were reported to MFA staff, she said.
