It’s 2019 and we still see MAGA teachers try to explain history in ways that are racist and disgusting. That was the case recently in Bronxville, New York. A fifth grade teacher at The Chapel School was fired after she was found to be using black students to stage fake auctions, per NBC News. She put shackles and chains on them.
Back in March, a mother of a student contacted the school about a white teacher letting white students bid and buy black students who were dressed as slaves. The school is located 15 miles north from Manhattan. In two separate fifth-grade social studies classes, the teacher took the black students, walked them out of the classroom, and put those shackles and chains on their necks, wrists, and ankles.
The New York State Attorney General’s Office launched an investigation into the incidents and after the teacher was fired, they decided to diversity their staff. The school has to look into getting a chief diversity officer now. State Attorney General Letitia James will be making the decision on who gets the job.
“Every young person — regardless of race — deserves the chance to attend school free of harassment, bias and discrimination,” James said in a statement. “Lessons designed to separate children on the basis of race have no place in New York classrooms, or in classrooms throughout this country. I thank The Chapel School for agreeing to take measures that directly address the issues of race, diversity and inclusion at the school.”
Hopefully The Chapel School will find a way to not end up hiring racists fools like this woman. She shouldn’t be allowed to teach again. Flip the page for PIX news video about the incident originally happening back in March.
