Teacher Accused of Mailing Afro Wig, White Face Paint to Mixed-Race 2nd-Grader

167. Right, we know that too.

Even so, at least one poster here thinks that the teacher's "no comment" to the tabloid reporter is the same as a confession - even though the school district is defending her against the lawsuit, along with their board.

I think what's happening here is very interesting. Some posters would prefer to attack this teacher - posting her photo and fantasizing violent attacks on her - even in the absence of objective evidence that any of this happened, much less is her fault - rather than focus on the very real, publicly verifiable examples of school boards and state legislatures currently enacting highly bigoted policies that harm millions of children.

This is a textbook example of a scapegoat being manufactured and sacrificed. This white teacher is a stand in for every white bigot who ever lived and by god she will be punished, whether guilty or not.

Reminds me of The Crucible.
