They should charge them with residency fraud just for sheer pettiness.

That mom has MD plates, and has for a long time.

Yup. I also knew them years ago when this kid was in elementary school in APS. They drove in from MD every day because mom worked (maybe still does) at a local daycare.

Man, the piping hot tea is really starting to pour out!

Maybe so, but that doesn’t give any teacher the right to have her son pick cotton.

No one was forced to pick cotton. Keep up.

how do you know this?

Because white pages has her in Falls Church and Greenbelt. Beyoytch is too dumb to have anticipated this. I love it.

DP.... its a well known "secret" for those that work with her.

Yeah, guess it wasn’t enough to get free day care, scam APS out of free education for her out of district kids, scam Arlington rec programs out of free sports and classes. Now she wants $10 million on top of it.

Well why isn’t anyone doing anything about it? Seems straightforward to me - send her a property tax bill for her MD-tagged car, and when she says she doesn’t live in Arlington, use it as proof of residency fraud.

All of this stuff costs $ - taxpayer money that is being taken away from our kids. If she wasn’t defrauding the system, I wouldn’t have to pay for her fraudulent lawsuit.

Who’s going to do anything?

It is the formal, stated policy of the Arlington government to ignore even violent crime if it is committed by a black person. You think anyone in a position of authority is going to stand up to this woman? Clearly not.

Private individuals? If you have a job or profile of any kind you’ll be branded a racist and lose your career and/or your reputation if you criticize a POC.

We all know she is a lazy crook, but to her credit her grift is perfectly calibrated to our current cultural moment and all the white liberal dummies around here. She is going to get paid for this. Not 10 million but something. My guess is once she gets her settlement check it’ll be off to California to get in on that bubbling $1.2 million reparations payment for every black resident.

Yeah back in the good old days, her and her son, would have really been picking cotton for free, and their white owner would have been getting the financial benefit. They would be making white supremacy even more supreme.

No teacher did that.

He did not pick cotton. Read what actually happened.

Someone should sue her. I want my tax dollars back.

You can look her up on the Arlington Co. district court list- several traffic issues including illegal tinted windows. Has her address as MD.

Apparently they’re now asking for $10mil? I feel bad for the poor kid, his mother is not doing him any favors with this.

I’m floored. You shouldn’t feel bad. 10 Mio will have the kid set for life. So many kids at the school will wish they’d have been picked for putting their face into a bowl of cotton.

The kid gets asked by his north african french teacher if he thinks she is racist. Kid gets pulled from the class until the school figured out the situation. Teacher is removed. Mom keeps doubling down on the harm done to her kid and puts the kid in front of cameras. Kid gets made fun of in school by peers. Now the whole class is out a french teacher, the kid is being bullied, and the mom thinks she should get $10 million for a mess entirely of her own creation.

This whole situation could have been avoided if the mom had called up the principal and said something like, "Hey, I know that there was no ill intent, but I think that the game that the kids played in class today could be construed by some as being racially insensitive. Can I ask that this particular game not be played again.". The whole situation would have ended there. But I guess this approach won't get you a fat settlement.

Can confirm that mom drives a car with Maryland plates, or at least did last year when my kid attended school with one of her kids.

I’m so sick of this. Residency fraud *and* APS educates her kids *and* will pay her, a Maryland resident 10 million?

I’d be interested to hear from other students and their perception of this activity. Everything I’ve read so far just makes it sound like a stupid game that is not designed to, nor does it tend to, invoke slavery / cotton-picking imagery. To the extent there is a degree of cultural insensitivity, it appears this was not intentional nor is it apparent on its face. Again, I’d be curious to hear from other students who have seen this game in action. Regardless, the remedy for this is to vet activities better, not to award this woman $10 million. Or even a dime. I was curious about the story when it first came out and open to hearing both sides, but the demand for $10 million is a conversation stopper. I hope APS doesn’t even pay out a nuisance settlement.

How far do we take this stuff? Are cotton shirts ok?

If the child isn't eligible to attend APS schools, isn't there a standing issue with regard to any potential legal claims?

Well, it's a french class. So, maybe he was? More likely, he's the only African American/Black kid and any other students of color are Latino or something other than Black.

Mom wants to make it look like he's the only minority in the class. Turns out virtually every person involved in this story is a person of color. The students, the teacher, the parents, the principal, the superintendent, etc....

which is also why it is gross that the Arlington NAACP is taking her side. This is why I don't trust anything they ever say on behalf of AA issues in Arlington.

It’s beyond embarrassing the NAACP jumped on this. Advocating for crooks and extortion. All at the expense of actual POC kids who reside in Arlington.

She doesn’t even go here!
