Pinnacle College's life orientation and art teacher threatened to re-enact the moments that led to Floyd, an African-American who died after a white policeman pressed his knee into his neck while he lay sprawled on the ground and handcuffed. Tankmaester

"I spoke to the principal and she said she was looking into the incident and would communicate with parents and learners about a way forward," she said.

In her apology De Vynck said she didn't mean any harm."It wasn't my intention and I didn't want to put someone down who lost their lives while people were watching and being helpless. "She apparently told a black learner that she doesnt shake hands when a learner wanted to greet her. Now she goes and says that she will sit on their necks like the American man who was killed.A third parent, who asked not to be named to protect her child, called for the teacher's head.

"I don't think an apology is sufficient. She should be dismissed immediately," said the parent. Steve Mabona, Gauteng education department spokesperson, said they will launch an investigation into the matter.

Should be banned from teaching at all and any level of education. A disgrace to those dedicated beyond reproach to their profession.

BS STOP SPREADING FAKE NEWS

If it was a black teacher who said that would the demands be the same? In one hand we are looking for justice and equality etc while at the same time we trying hard to make people feel like they must be different from the rest

Why are u surprised...we allowed this as Africans long ago. WHITE people don't love Us! Wake up African Child!!!

She mast be fired with immediate effect.

Sounds like these black parents want white teachers to be kept away from black kids. Of course, this is not a new idea. It was called segregation in the past. They're asking for a return to segregation.

To artificially make everything that is not racially related to let it sound and look like racism-related is actually childish and making the real occurrence of racism cheap.

Tankmaester It's such a shame that when the entire WORLD is trying to fight the racism scarge we still find ppl who thrive in such behaviour,, I pity your children who have to grow up in an evil enviroment you created for them...
