AZ teacher to Muslim student: 'I can’t wait until Trump is elected. He’s going to deport all you'

[nightscanner59]

Source: Daily Kos

The ACLU has filed an official complaint against an Arizona public charter school after a sixth grade teacher from the Academy of Excellence in Phoenix repeatedly viciously harassed a Muslim student who is a refugee from Somalia.
“I can’t wait until Trump is elected. He’s going to deport all you Muslims. Muslims shouldn’t be given visas. They’ll probably take away your visa and deport you. You’re going to be the next terrorist, I bet.”

It seems to me the Fox Noize/ Trumpeteer construct is turning out lunaplorables.

[lonestarnot]

1. What the fuck is wrong with people. This one is seriously defective. Can we get our money back?

[RKP5637]

31. Boils down to defective brains for whatever reason under robotic control by

hateful distorted programming over the years from birth.

[oasis]

2. Trump will hire this asshole to run the front desk at a hotel.

No one else will.

[oberliner]

23. He doesn't hire older African-American women

At least not for jobs that interact with the public.

[stone space]

36. That white lady with the "Blacks for Trump" sign looks tired.

She could use some help.

He doesn't hire older African-American women

At least not for jobs that interact with the public.

[oberliner]

38. That "Gods2.com" thing is so bizarre

What the heck is going on there?

[stone space]

39. I'm too afraid to google it.

[IronLionZion]

57. google news it

there are write ups about it on rightwingwatch and other groups who monitor such shenanigans. They're a bunch of looney tunes.

[Ken Burch]

61. I checked it out. It's ultra "religious" whackjobbery at its best.

From what I saw in my brief look, they're against Hillary because they believe God doesn't want women to have power over men. Didn't want to hang around to see what they said about LGBTQ folks, Muslims, and Jews.

[SummerSnow]

43. I think it's that Yahweh cult.

[roamer65]

3. Did that twit Jan Brewer become a teacher???

[McKim]

4. What I Did about this Kind of Talk in a School

A teacher in an elementary school was talking bad to some Somali kids saying: "Your parents don't pay taxes so you are going back to Somalia." This terrified the children. I went with immigrant student advocates to visit the principal and remind her that this kind of talk was not appreciated by the immigrant community and that it was illegal, that people might be willing to take it to court and I alerted the school district's lawyer. This way the principal could not protect their pet teacher. The teacher has since retired and it was assured that she could not return to the district as a substitute teacher. Stand up. Sometimes a community and a person can do a lot. Not in my town!

[rusty quoin]

6. I shake your hand in appreciation for what you did.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

10. When anyone was mean to my mother's kids she didn't get mad...she got even

It was never anything a good, potent batch of ex-lax brownies couldn't fix...

[GWC58]

54. District?

That person should not be permitted to teach, full time, or substitute, anywhere in this nation!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

66. Good for you. It is appalling that any teacher would say this kind of stuff to a child. n/t

[Warpy]

5. What the fuck is the matter with this person?

And why the fuck was this person not disciplined by that school?

Methinks the culture of corruption runs so deep at that school that it should be closed.

So much for making money by bullying little kids.

[YOHABLO]

7. "Public Charter School" should speak volumes.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

12. In my experience, public charter schools and magnet schools are good

Sometimes teachers suck. As someone who raised 4 kids in public schools I can assure you that there are just as many awful teachers in public schools as there are in any other schools.

I live in Florida and I actually like school choice as it's done here. The performing arts schools allow lower income kids the opportunity to get great training they otherwise would never be able to afford.

[mwooldri]

17. Magnet schools are usually part of the normal county school system.

While I'm for more school independence within the regular system, maybe charters are a step too far... especially when they can sort-of cherry pick their students... and can often perform worse than the county schools? Magnets yes. Charters... maybe, needs reform imo.

[Upin]

18. Depends on the school..

Some are excellent, most are average and some are terrible.

Just like the regular system.

[still_one]

8. That teacher absolutely should be fired

[Farmgirl1961]

53. Absolutely!

[Rex]

9. Wow, Trump followers are letting out their inner ugly for all the world to see.

Good. Expose these POS people for what they are. Does the teacher have a clue Trump is lying and would stick that teacher in the same cell as their Muslim student.

Trump is a monster waiting to happen, thankfully he has no chance in hell at the WH.

[Feeling the Bern]

11. There was another article of a teacher dressing up as Trump and apparently saying the "F" word

in class. Then there is blatant educational bullying, racism and xenophobia.

The first one I have no problems with. . .teacher should be reprimanded for poor judgement. This asshole in (ugh, my home state of Arizona) Phoenix needs to be run out. But to call charter school teachers "Teachers" is an insult to teaching.

Those that run charter schools are just as racism, bigoted and xenophobic, but they have a big bullshit business smile that they use as they parasitically rob from the local public school coffers while convincing idiot, brain-dead parents that the public school sucks.

[Ms.Lib]

13. Reading this made me physically ill

For a teacher to spew that garbage at a child is not only reprehensible & inexcusable, it is indefensible.
Said teacher should be terminated immediately & the school scrutinized for other potential racist deplorables who have no business in a teaching position.

That poor child.
This story breaks my heart.

[nightscanner59]

15. I was absolutely slack jawed by it myself.

I only know of a couple trump supporters at my work. One has been recently placed on a weeks suspension for racist remarks. In the last few months I've had half a dozen foul mouthed patients with "Make America Grunt Again" hats act out despicably in public. What the Trumpeteer / Fox Noise consortium is teaching an entire demographic is acceptable makes me think they're on the path of getting shut down for inciting riotous behaviors. Seems every day I read something more deplorable.
So far, this and RW threats to assassinate HRC have taken the home the deplorable's trophies.
Hopefully they'll all be taught a clear, undeniable lesson soon in the form of a blue landslide.

[oberliner]

25. Almost all of the teachers at the school are African-American

Including the teacher in question from the OP.

Also the Director of the school is African-American.

[freebrew]

52. Bigotry...

isn't exclusive to the white race.

I blame this type of crap on hate radio and the new 'FOX'(the entire M$M).

The economy, the way it is, is a big contributing factor as well. IMHO.

[stone space]

41. "Make America Grunt Again"

[awoke_in_2003]

19. Welcome to DU

And I agree- only a piece of shit talks to a child that way.

[Ms.Lib]

49. You're welcome, so glad to be here

I've enjoyed having a place to converse with fellow dems & get the facts about what's really happening in this crazy election.

[Cha]

14. Fire their ugly racist brainwashed ass.

[oberliner]

24. She is black

Which is interesting, given the alleged remarks.

[LuvNewcastle]

27. As Hannibal Lester would say,

it's free-range rude out there. I'm not surprised to hear bigoted remarks from just about anybody anymore. In fact, some members of minority groups think that their ethnicity inoculates them from being called a bigot. It's been like that since forever, though. No entire group of people is immune to bigotry; in fact, you'd have to be some kind of bigot to believe that.

[oberliner]

30. There is a difference between racism and bigotry, however

Wouldn't you agree?

[LuvNewcastle]

47. Racism is just one form of bigotry,

so yes, I agree. But sometimes folks expect more from others just because of their race. I understand why people do expect more from some than others, but it's really not fair to give one person more racism points than another based solely on race.

[Dorian Gray]

28. That makes it even more shocking

You'd think being a minority, especially in a place like Arizona, you'd have empathy for newer immigrants.

But you'd think wrong.

Ugly behavior.

[oberliner]

29. Curious if there is any statement from her

I can't seem to find any.

I'd like to at least hear her version of what happened.

If everything in the official complaint is true, then I would agree with you.

[whatthehey]

42. Yeah but what's the betting she sure isn't a religious minority.

Trump isn't talking about deporting black Christians.

[stone space]

37. She teaches mathematics.

Which is interesting, given the alleged remarks.

[PersonNumber503602]

58. I'm not following the connection between mathematics and her comment

What am I missing? heh

[stone space]

59. In all my years of teaching mathematics, immigration has never come up in the classroom.

That's just not what mathematics is all about.

I do see some potential for a story problem, however.

Q: A country has a population of 300,000,000. President Trump deports 350.000,000 of them. How many people would need to reenter the country in order to make it empty?

A: 500,000.

And then there's post #24.

[PersonNumber503602]

62. oh yeah. duhh. I feel really stupid now.

Good point, though.

[BlueStater]

16. Geez, I had to click on two links just to find out the gender of the damn teacher.

Anyway, nobody is going to be deported, even if Orange Boy wins. She's not just a bigoted asshole but a stupid bigoted asshole who believes the lies of lifelong con men.

[Raine]

21. Yup Trump is just a big mouthed scam artist reeling in the suckers

that believe his crap, he won't do squat sbout anything he's yapped about.

[JI7]

20. Anyone have info on this teacher's qualifications ?

[oberliner]

22. Teacher is an African-American woman

Who teaches math and science.

[stone space]

35. As someone who teaches mathematics myself, I find this deplorable.

Teacher is an African-American woman

Who teaches math and science.

#notallmathematicians

[The2ndWheel]

46. The whole staff is mostly non-white women

http://www.academyofexcellenceaz.com/about_us/staff_directory

The only men there are black too.

[oberliner]

51. Also the Director of the school is African-American

As I noted upthread.

[katiecoo]

26. Trump is all Braun as this secret archive footage shows

[get the red out]

32. Child abuse

Nut-job Trumpette abusing a child.

[oberliner]

40. Has the teacher admitted to saying/doing these things?

Are there witnesses on the record having seen or heard this?

Are there pending criminal charges?

Any statement from the teacher herself?

[atreides1]

44. Why would she admit it?

According to the ACLU, other students have provided their own accounts of what occurred to support the claims!

An investigation has to be conducted before any charges can be filed. The ACLU has asked the Justice Department and the Department of Education to investigate.

A spokesperson for Academy of Excellence public charter school in east Phoenix referred questions about the alleged mistreatment to an attorney. Which means the school has already circled the wagons, and the teacher won't be making any statements!

http://www.12news.com/news/local/valley/aclu-phoenix-teacher-mistreated-6th-grade-immigrant/345216240


I have do have a question, what does a video clip of the 9/11 attacks have to do with either science or math? Granted I am the product of a public school education...and I do remember watching a Disney cartoon in math class, it was about math!!!

[oberliner]

50. I was just wondering if she had told her version of the story

I also had that same question in my head about why a math teacher was showing a 9/11 video - unless maybe she is also a homeroom teacher (or the equivalent) and there was some special commemoration going on or something along those lines.

Since this is a charter school, they might run things differently than traditionally schools would.

[stone space]

33. Well, as the Donald would say, ...

[MissMillie]

34. "The Academy of Excellence"

I'm thinking not so much.

[The2ndWheel]

45. Those are some detailed quotes

Is there audio of that, or is it from the memory of a 6th grader whose first language probably isn't english?

[Wuddles440]

48. Incredibly heartbreaking.....

It would be vile enough if these comments were directed at an adult, but even more so when a child is a recipient of this reprehensible behavior. Occasionally there are stories that are so inspiring that you believe that there still are some decent people in the world and offer a glimmer of hope. Then something like this comes along and you crash back to earth. So very soul crushing.

[Metro135]

55. "You're going to be the next terrorist, I bet"

If this poor kid has more teachers like this piece of shit, he probably will. And who could blame him?

[SpankMe]

56. Someone tell me how this "teacher" isn't deplorable? n/t

[Ken Burch]

60. Any time a school calls it self "The Academy of Excellence"...

...bad things will happen there...

I'm amazed they spelled "Excellence" right. Or "The".

[uawchild]

63. Good lord...

What is wrong with this person? Seriously.

[Divine Discontent]

64. I mentioned this type of Trump backer a week back

They think they're better than the newer immigrants and don't want them coming and taking away their position in society, so they're shockingly Republican.

[Jnew28]

65. Muslims and Mexicans are apparently the same race!
