There’s no doubt whte men caused her to behave this way. Most likely a white male supervisor pressured her into this.

I have no evidence to support this. Only the fact that white men exist.

Im way more surprised that the "swam here" comment is what is being focused on and not the "teach your dumbass kids"

Unfortunately the current social setting is absurd. Apathy is how it becomes prevalent.

This is why we are in the mess we are in. It is this stupidity that has given us the current climate. Race or gender should not have any weight in determining your employment, it should be strictly skills/merit.

If it was someone higher up, I'd probably care more, but since it's simply a teacher, I don't.

Are they white hispanics?


Great question. They could be descendants of the Basques.

Or maybe related to Canelo Alvarez.

Nope, it has more to do with her job is a dime a dozen in a city and state that I am not living. If it's the superintendent and they have been doing a good job, I'd be a little more empathetic and say don't let 20 seconds of a heated exchange, she seemed to start, cause this woman to lose her job, same way I feel about the school board member in BR that got in hot water over a party at her neighbors (rented house).

I don't believe the teacher should have her entire life ruined, aka she should be able to find another teaching position, because of this incident, but you aren't going to see me running down to a local school board or metro council meeting over her actions.

A teacher that I would fight for is the one in Louisiana that was arrested at a school board meeting when questioning a raise for the superintendent.

Yet, I promise you if a white male made comments like this to her, she would be playing the race card.

If that woman was employed by the school where I'm a board member I'd have voted to fire her too, even if it was PROVEN that the couple started the entire thing.
