A Black family has filed a legal claim against a California school district alleging racist remarks were caught on camera after a teacher was seemingly unaware she was still on a Zoom call, and the district confirmed on Thursday the teacher has resigned.
On Jan. 20, following the parent-teacher meeting on Zoom, Newman — who is white — did not end the meeting for all attendees and instead left her microphone and camera turned on, according to the claim. Excerpts of the video were released by Stokes' attorneys and have been viewed by NBC News. It is unclear what happened prior to the video being recorded.
The claim says that during the rant, Stokes called the school principal who immediately called Newman and told her her video was still on. Newman denied the remarks she made, still on video, while Stokes continued the recording.
Racist to one is truth to others
No wonder racism is alive and well in this country. Hate isn't inherited. It's taught
Smh..
White teachers should not be teaching black kids.....it’s always going to be that racist thought behind the smile.
Zoom has been a good tool for teachers during the pandemic. I have heard idiots on school boards and teachers to incompetent to understand or cannot read the the mic on and off button. These morons have a role in our kid's education, and are paid by taxpayers, I feel ripped off!
Can you imagine that poor child having to be in her class!! Sickening.
Wow! They got the smoking gun here. That teacher's job is in real jeopardy.
