She's a teacher who, at worst, made a mistake. How hard would it be to simply say "We are aware a teacher dressed up as a black celebrity and in doing so was unintentionally offensive. This costume was a mistake and has no place in schools. We are glad that EIPS is taking action to educate the individual and others while issuing an apology." Nope, the Education Minister needs to make this a big deal instead.

But, if he doesn't condemn it in the strongest language he can, then everyone goes after him as a closet racist who's ok with white folks dressing up in blackface... He really can't win here.
