teacher puts feathers on her head and acts like a Native American (?) to teach "sohcahtoa." It's caused quite the uproar on Twitter.

Well, I don’t think morons should be teaching, so yes. That was so embarrassing and painful to watch.

I’m speechless.

Racism aside, this was ridiculous. Even if she wanted to dress in a funny outfit to make sure something was engaging (again, this was not funny but racist), it went on wayyyyyy too long. What a narcissist.

Omg! I just sent that video to my family.

So I’m Super liberal and I really believe some people don’t know how Offense acting like an Indian is.

I literally Wore Redskins gear two years ago. I can provide video of Friends doing the tomahawk chop at Florida states football games

This. It was ridiculous. I think she was trying to get their attention and be engaging but I don't think it was intended to be racist or anything else. Its poor judgement, not termination worthy.

Yes, that's the equivalent of blackface.

Ok that was weird. I don’t think the teacher should be fired, I’m sure at this point she’s embarrassed and understands that’s not appropriate.

I am the PP you’re quoting and frankly racism is racism whether it’s intentional or not.

I don’t think that’s a valid reason to fire the teacher.

She's been placed on leave: https://abc7.com/teacher-native-american-dance-video-john-w-north-high-school/11151989/

So how racist does a teacher have to be in order to be terminated, in your opinion?

I feel so bad for that teacher.

She missed all the news about white people getting cancelled for the smallest things (or maybe thought it couldn’t apply to her) and now her life is ruined.

She looks like a really good teacher, trying to be memorable and help the kids remember something important. Just missed the memos lately.
