I can't fathom any logical reason for this noose or these pictures.

However -

quote:

I’m now questioning the education that my niece and every student of color, has received in this class,” says Phillips.



I would question the education every single student that these teachers teach is getting.

If this is racial, which seems very possible, it is hurting every child.

Racism is taught.

These kind of things are what keeps it alive.

emailed the photo to her staff, attaching a second image of the noose hanging in an office, according to Los Angeles television station Fox 11. Other parents found the photo on Instagram.


Principal and involved teachers are idiots for this. Probably best they don't teach, frankly.

Shaka Phillipps, a former teacher, administrator, and educational consultant, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that she pulled her 6-year-old niece from Summerwind on Thursday morning


quote:

Phillips’s niece will stay home from Summerwind until the school enacts new policies and an appropriate discipline plan. She also wants assurance that her niece won’t be punished for missing school during the investigation.



Why aren't this girl's parents making decisions for her? Her aunt keeping her out of school is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

The stupidity of taking a picture like that as a school educator is mind blowing



True, but what's equally mind-blowing is how we've gotten to the point where taking the picture of an inanimate object results in the loss of your job.

I honestly don’t know when a noose became a “racist object”

Did you know that hanging was the preferred method of execution by our government, and many others, into the 20th century? It’s recently, and wrongly, been hijacked as a symbol of oppression.

Why is it possible? What evidence is there of it being racial?

Indeed. Teaching your children that a picture of noose, without context, is racist certainly perpetuates racism.

would sure love some fricking context for that.

Yes, it was dumb - especially in today's outrage climate, but I am hard-pressed to believe there was any racial component to this.

We've already lost the battle flag and blackface. Now nooses are considered racist??? This is a step too far.

Uh, no it's not. Nooses are only used to hang black people. This is common knowledge.

So what the reason given by the four teachers? It's asinine to just assume a noose is present for racial intimidation.


Final exams joke, I'm guessing?

ETA: I see it's an elementary school...end-of-year testing, perhaps?

Either way, I'm having a difficult time believing 4 teachers did this with overt racist intentions.

People are so fragile these days if a picture or a rope can cause this much concern.

Yesterday, it was brought to the Palmdale School District’s attention that an incident involving the discovery of a noose and possibly inappropriate responses to that discovery occurred at Summerwind Elementary School.

The Principal and the personnel involved in this matter have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation of the matter. We will follow process and procedures to conduct the investigation.”

RELAX people...it's just a joke. I despise those who are that naive. Piss on those who try to force political correctness. Why attempt to force someone to act in a way that's not sincere?? Does that make you feel better about yourself???
This is America. Lighten up - because you aint forcing shite on nobody
