Student forced to leave school after putting on blackface to dress as Martin Luther King Jr for class project... because the principal said it was offensive

A second grade student in Colorado was forced to leave school after he wore black face paint to dress up like Martin Luther King Jr for a class project.

Sean King and his family say the principal of Meridian Ranch Elementary in Colorado Springs asked him to remove the makeup because it was offensive.

The family says the principal was acting on a complaint from the teacher. But Sean, who is white, said he doesn't understand why anyone would get offended by his costume, which included a dark suit and a fake bushy mustache.
