The case made headlines earlier this year when she was accused of stepping on students backs to demonstrate the atrocity of slavery.


quote:

Suspended from teaching at Bronx Middle School 118 in January, Cummings was accused of traumatizing students in a lesson that sparked outrage. A student claimed she had black children in seventh grade social studies lie on the floor to demonstrate slave transport and then pushed her knee into a girl’s back and said, “See how it feels to be a slave?”

But Cummings claims none of that happened.



quote:

“We’ve begun the process of firing Ms. Cummings based on an investigation of this unacceptable behavior,” the spokesperson added.

Cummings is now suing the city, “for overreacting and precipitously reacting to this whole situation,” attorney Thomas Liotti said.

"See how it feels to be a slave?"

Something tells me she's asked that question before.

Thousands, reportedly.

Odd question in this thread.

Our middle school coach would always step on our stomachs during the “six inches” exercise (lying on back and holding legs six inches above the ground). The reason was that we weren’t slapping our bellies hard enough and were pussies. Nobody sued.
