quote:

A white city public school teacher — who claims she was wrongfully fired over a controversial lesson on slavery in which she was accused of having black students lie on the floor while she stepped on their backs — plans to sue the city for $1 billion.

Patricia Cummings, 37, was canned in October after complaints about the highly unorthodox teaching method that left some students feeling humiliated and singled out by the exercise.


quote:

The teacher said her suit will be supported by the testimony of a black teacher at the school who witnessed the lesson.

That colleague found it effective — and said he would not have objected if his own kids had taken part.

What exactly did she do?

Also, it's a class action apparently. Still probably absurd, but it makes a little more sense.

I don’t get it. What sex position is stepping on students backs? I’m assuming it something sex related since this is a teacher in the news.

If she wins the entire amount she’ll be able to afford to be Miss Cummings for the rest of her life.

Of course a billion because the goal is to settle for “only” a few hundred thousand

Surely you know how scummy lawyers work
