North Carolina Teacher Resigns After Saying Black Students Would Have Been Her 'Field Slaves'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A North Carolina teacher at Winterville Charter Academy has resigned after she taught a “racially insensitive lesson” to her class of eighth-graders in which she told her Black students that if it weren’t for the Constitution, they’d be her “field slaves.”

While speaking with local news source WITN-TV, a parent of one of the students in the class, Kanisha Tillman, shared that the teacher “had them [the Black students] raise their hand during a constitutional lesson and reminded them that if it wasn’t for the Constitution, they would be her slaves. Her field slaves.”

Unfortunately, the teacher’s racist lesson only added to a history of racial insensitivity Tillman and other parents have expressed their children have been subjected to at the school.

According to Tillman, a fellow parent sent her a text message on Sept. 20 about another racially disturbing incident with the same eighth-grade teacher. After receiving the message, she followed up to get his version of what happened as well.

1. Addressing particular students, and interjecting herself as the 'owner' of them?!?

Wow, that's just really, really shitty. So glad she's FIRED!

I'd bet she was also trying to wrongly imply that the original, 18th Century Constitution was what alleviated that concern ... when it was, in fact, a 19th Century Amendment to the Constitution that accomplished what she claimed. You know, after the racist South lost the Civil War like those treason weasels should have.

But that's just a guess.

2. No doubt in my mind she interprets history in a "special" kind of way. nt

4. As if she could afford them on a teacher's salary.

Slaves were for rich people.

No one in North Carolina gets rich being a grade-school teacher. The educational system there is horrible, in part because of the sh*t pay.

I used to live there.

5. Could she consider that she might be poor white trash?

6. I think we at least have a hard confirmation on the 'trash' part.

What a slimy, hot mess of a human being...
