To be clear, the shouting wasn’t because she was Latina or anything like that, it was because the school board was letting her run over the two minute limit when they held everyone expressing a different view strictly to the two minute limit. I’m not part of APE and I think they are extreme in their views, but it very much came across as the school board selectively enforcing the rules based on the content of the speech, which is extremely problematic.

Eh, I watched it. They started yelling the second the timer went off. It also sounded like MO was going to stop her, too. The Shouters went trying to right a wrong, they were clearly trying to intimidate. If they cared about rules, they would have stopped clapping after the first reminder.

Why wouldn’t people be upset when the rules are unevenly applied? I think shouting someone down is reprehensible, but I certainly understand the frustration. Using accusations of racism as a cudgel to shut down the opposition may be effective, but the people who fall for it are weak minded.

I don't think this crowd has any self awareness.

this is a group of very angry parents at the end of their rope with APS. They have every right to be angry, clap in support of one another and show frustration at this point. They only care about getting their damn kids a legit education, for crying out loud.

Nope...They started yelling just before her two minutes were up. Monique was not letting her go over and could barely tell her that time was up before they yelling started.

None. Just the Latina. It's not like she went way over. She was finishing her sentence and the Board chair was about to cut her off and did.

APE was not happy that they got called out for using brown kids as pawns.

This. I wish the APE apologists would look inward.

Well, that part is correct.

APE also needs to look at the optics of having white males scream at a Black female elected official to resign her job.

Those white APE males were a little scary.

So much white privilege on display and it wasn't just that. It was their open hostility to the two female Latina speakers.
