An internationally recognized preparatory school in Brooklyn, New York, has been rocked by scandal after a racist video circulated showing two white female students in blackface. The girls, who attend Poly Prep Country Day School in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, can be seen making monkey gestures and noises while donning blackface in the video, which was obtained by the New York Daily News. Other students say they became aware of the video last week and that the school has done little to discipline the girls involved. TEACHER SAYS SHE DIDN'T KNOW WEARING BLACKFACE WAS OFFENSIVE“Some students and faculty shed tears,” he added, discussing the group's emotional open letter and presentation. Barzdukas vowed to rectify that and plans to meet with students of color at Poly Prep about their concerns on Wednesday.
