A white female teacher in Oklahoma is on paid leave pending an investigation after she allegedly told a black student his “Black King” t-shirt was “racist.”
According to the Atlanta Black Star, the teacher at Heartland Middle School asked 13-year-old Latrell Taft in the midst of a lesson about the saying on his shirt.
Taft claims the teacher told the class that if someone had worn a shirt with “White Queen” on it, that would be branded “racist.” She also said there should be a “White History Month.” The class largely agreed with the teacher that his shirt was racist, Taft added.
In response to the White History Month remark, Taft had replied “Black people don’t have enough recognition and we barely learn about Black people in February at my school.”
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
