Teachers Suspended For Mocking Student Protesters

DURING THE DAY WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS PROTEST A NUMBER OF
PEOPLE GOT INVOLVED OF ALL DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS INCLUDING
A LOT OF STUDENTS, A LOT OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DECIDED TO FLEX
THEIR POLITICAL MUSCLE, BE POLITICALLY ACTIVE HOWEVER, SIX
TEACHERS IN RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA DECIDED TO SAY PRETTY TERRIBLE
THINGS ABOUT THESE STUDENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA PUBLICLY.
1ST OF ALL BEFORE I GET INTO THE DETAILS OF WHAT THEY SAID
AND HOW THEY SET IT, EDUCATORS SHOULD KNOW PRIVACY
SETTINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
IN FACT, THEY SHOULD PRIORITIZE THAT BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
BECAUSE YOU ARE AN EDUCATOR SO PEOPLE MIGHT WATCH YOU AND WHAT
YOU DO ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
IN THIS CASE, THESE TEACHERS
WERENíT SO SMART.
THEY GOT CAUGHT.
WHAT DID THEY SAY?
AT LEAST SIX TEACHERS AT A HIGH SCHOOL IN RIVERSIDE
DISCUSSED THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF THESE STUDENTS NOT
SHOWING UP THE CLASS BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO GO PROTEST.
THEY WERE GIVING ME STUDENTS PROPS, THEY WERE ACTUALLY
SAYING THANK GOD THEY ARE HERE BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH TROUBLE
AND I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM AS LONG AS THEY ARE GONE.
ONE SOCIAL SCIENCE TEACHER ISSUED THE ORIGINAL POST
WHICH SAID HAVING HIS CLASS SIDE REDUCE BY 650%
SERVE TO SUPPORT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE
ORDERS CRACKING DOWN ON IMMIGRATION BECAUSE ILLUSTRATED
HOW MUCH BETTER THINGS MAY BE WITH ALL THIS OVERCROWDING.
HE THEN CHARACTERIZE THOSE WHO PROTESTED AS LAZY OR
LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO GET DRUNK.
LOTS OF STEREOTYPES HERE OBVIOUSLY, BUT THE ONE
THING I DO WANT TO ADDRESS IS NOT EVERYONE WHO PROTESTED
WAS UNDOCUMENTED.
A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE PROTESTED BECAUSE THEY ARE
CITIZENS AND MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITY MIGHT BE
UNDOCUMENTED, MAYBE THEIR PARENTS ARE NOT THE
ASSUMPTION THAT NO ONE GIVES THE SHARE ABOUT THIS OTHER THAN
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IS KIND OF CRAZY SO HE IS PAINTING
THIS VERY SPECIFIC PICTURE OF YOU WENT ON PROTESTED WHICH
I THINK IS WRONG AND THEN HE CALLS THEM LAZY.
YOU ARE LAZY BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GET POLITICALLY ACTIVE AND
GO TO PROTEST?
LET ME JUST SAY SOMETHING: PROTESTS ARE THE MOST
INCONVENIENT THINGS ON THE PLANET.
THE WOMEN'S MARCH WAS AWESOME, I WENT AND I WAS PROUD OF
MYSELF FOR BEING PART OF IT I WAS PROUD OF MY PEERS FOR
BEING PART OF IT.
IT WAS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO GET THERE, INCREDIBLY
DIFFICULT TO MOVE AROUND I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE AND
INCONVENIENT, ITíS NOT SOMETHING A LAZY PERSON
DOES AND THEN ALSO DRUNK, BASED ON WHAT?
DID YOU SEE THEM HOLDING BOTTLES OF LIQUOR AS THEY WERE
PROTESTING?
I THINK THEY WERE HOLDING SIGNS BUT I COULD BE WRONG.
LOOK, LET'S SAY HYPOTHETICALLY HALF THE
SCHOOL DATES TO FIRST SENIOR SKIP DAY, YOU COULD MAKE
THAT COMMENT ABOUT THE 50% SMALLER CLASSES WOULD BE GOOD
MAYBE, BUT IT IS NOT WISE TO DO IT WHEN THE PARTICULAR FORM OF
PROTEST THAT IS GOING ON HAS TO DO WITH IMMIGRANTS SPECIFICALLY.
YOU KNOW, YOU ARE AN EDUCATOR.
YOU SHOULD BE EDUCATED
AND KNOW AND BE A LITTLE MORE CAREFUL WITH YOUR LANGUAGE.
ANOTHER TEACHER A SCIENCE TEACHER CHARACTERIZE THOSE
ABSCESS FAILING STUDENTS AND AGRICULTURE TEACHER RHONDA
FULL AND SCIENCE TEACHER CHUCK BOB AGREED THEIR STUDENTS
WERE LESS DISRUPTIVE.
LET'S DO THIS MORE OFTEN THEY WROTE THAT
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS GOD WILL HOW GREAT IS IT WHEN
WE DON'T HAVE THOSE IMMIGRANTS CAULKING OPPRESSES THEM.
THAT IS ALL THEY ARE SAYING THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
LOVE AND SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY HOW DO YOU GET ON THEM?
IT'S A FIRST AMENDMENT THING EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRST AMENDMENT BECAUSE IT
DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH THE GOVERNMENT.
YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT HYPOTHETICALLY AND WE CAN
HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
PARENTS CAN HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TEACHER WHO APPARENTLY
HAS AT LEAST SOME LEVEL OF RACIAL BIAS TO HAS TO TEACH
PEOPLE OF DIVERSE RACES.
THEY CAN HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM CONTINUING TO TEACH THEM.
YOUR RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH DON'T PROTECT YOU FROM ANYONE
HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE TERRIBLE THINGS YOU BELIEVE
AND SAY AND DO.
THEY ARE TEACHERS.
THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FOR DECADES NOW.
THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CUTS IN FUNDING AND THE REAL REASON WHY
WE ARE DEALING WITH OVERCROWDING IN THE CLASSROOMS.
IT IS
BECAUSE WE ARE CUTTING RESOURCES FOR THE SCHOOLS SO INSTEAD OF
BLAMING WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN TERMS OF POLITICIANS NOT
PRIORITIZING EDUCATION AND CONTINUOUSLY CUTTING FUNDING FOR
IT, THEY ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND BLAME THE MOST POWERLESS
PEOPLE FOR HOW CLOGGED UP THEIR CLASSROOMS ARE, HOW BIG THE
CLASSROOMS ARE.
ARE YOU CRAZY RIGHT NOW?
I GET IT, YOU ARE A TEACHER AND YOU DEAL WITH A LOT OF BS BUT
THE PROBLEM IS NOT THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY IMMIGRANT STUDENTS.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU GUYS CONTINUOUSLY GET DENIED THE
RESOURCES NECESSARY TO HAVE SMALLER CLASS SIZES AND TO HAVE
ENOUGH TEACHERS TO TAKE CARE OF AND TEACH ALL OF THESE STUDENTS.
THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM AND ALSO ANOTHER THING, AS A TEACHER,
YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE A NEGATIVE VIEW OF ONE GROUP OF
STUDENTS VERSUS ANOTHER TO THE POINT WHERE IT MIGHT AFFECT THE
WAY YOU TREAT THE STUDENTS IN THE WAY YOU TEACH THE STUDENTS.
I THINK IT IS PROBLEMATIC WHEN YOU HAVE TEACHERS WHO
OBVIOUSLY HAVE A VERY CLEAR RACIAL BIAS I CONCERN STUDENTS.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU DON'T EMPHASIZE THEIR EDUCATION
OR PRIORITIZE WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE DOING WELL?
DO YOU JUST LOOK DOWN ON THEM AND THINK THEY ARE LAZY DRUNKS?
BY THE WAY, THIS IS A CHILLING EFFECT FOR A LOT OF THE
STUDENTS WHO GO TO THE SCHOOL AND ACTUALLY LOOKED UP TO
THESE TEACHERS.
LET ME GIVE YOU A POST FROM ONE OF THE STUDENTS.
SHE WRITES THE FOLLOWING: IT MAY BE GONE NOW THE LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN I PRESENT TO YOU THE BELOVED TEACHERS AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL.
MY HEART IS SO BROKEN, I LOVE TO THESE TEACHERS AND THIS IS
HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT US AND OUR PEOPLE?
I UNDERSTAND YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THE PROTEST OF THE WAY
IT IS BEING DONE BUT TO JUST OPENLY SAY THOSE COMMENTS
ABOUT STUDENTS I CAN'T EVEN BE ANGRY MY HEART JUST HURTS.
WE ALL LOOKED UP TO PEOPLE WHO THINK OF US AS LAZY DRUNKS.
THAT WAS THE PART THAT REALLY, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE FEEL
TERRIBLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT LIKE THESE ARE STUDENTS WHO HAVE
TREATED THESE TEACHERS POORLY OR LOOK THEM DOWN.
A LOT OF THE STUDENTS ACTUALLY LOOKED UP TO THEM AND IT
WAS A SOBERING MOMENT TO REALIZE THAT THESE EDUCATORS LOOK
DOWN ON THEM AND THOUGHT OF THEM AS LAZY DRUNKS AND NOTHING MORE.
