    Have we ever had this many DUMB-A$$ teachers in this country??? I mean my word...Now if you call this teacher a racist he’ll SWEAR that he’s not; yet the only way he thought he could deal with mischievious kids, black kids, was to utter the N word & mention slavery. WTF?!?!?!? And while I am sorry that this was posted online, causing embarrassment to the kid involved, it’s a good thing that it was recorded. Otherwise knock-off Mr. Clean would SWEAR that he didn’t say those things. SMH...I guess I’ll have to home-school my kids should I have any. I just can’t deal with the chaos and bullying in schools today—from teachers AND students. Dammit

      Short answer: yes. Teachers get low pay and no respect from students, parents and administrators. What kind of applicants do you think that attracts?

      Many teacher do great jobs, most are just average, and the remainder are toxic and should never be near children. The good ones don’t stay long.

      The history of teachers treatment in the U.S. has been very bad.

      That said, I am NOT defending the shitty ones.

      I dread bringing a black child into this god forsaken world.

    Please read and understand: this outrageous outburst by the teacher was precipitated by students LAUGHING in class. That is sufficient conduct for black people to be degraded.

      I refer to this phenomenon as “Breathing While Black.” I have to believe that a person named Dick Wesenduck has heard the laughter of children before. No way that’s what pushed him over the edge.

      Something about the way that black youth was breathing was very “menacing” and “thuggish”. Possibly gang-related breathing.

    In the video, the teacher, identified by WRAL as Dick Wesenduck, could be heard saying, “Did I call you a nigger? No. I said you were being controlled, by kids. That is exactly what happened to the slaves. They were controlled by their owners. You’re letting him control you, and you’re the one who’s getting in trouble.”

    I don’t know if I’m more offended by his casual use of nigger or his shitty analogy fueled by dumb-ass reasoning.

    Also, Dick Wesenduck? I feel like I’ve been trapped in an Onion article since November.

      I’m surprised the teacher isn’t using the “Trump is President now, bitches!” defense. Isn’t that usually the next step with these people?

      That wasn’t an analogy. That was his way of calling the kid a nigger, while retaining plausible deniability if any witness was to repeat exactly what he said. Of course, there’s video evidence, but he will definitely go with the Splitting Hairs argument that states,”But, I didn’t CALL him a nigger. I asked him to verify that I didn’t call him a nigger”(he thinks he’s slick). Those of us raised around white people know this “game”, & I really hope he eventually has to face the parents of children who recognize & understand this too.

    These things keep happening closer and closer to me in this state. If y’all read a story about giant redneck looking dude getting arrested because a teacher called his kid a “gook”, “yellow” or something similar, that’s probably me. We’ve already had to have a few conversations about kids saying crap to him at school.

    The school: we saw this video and reported him and he’s suspended pending investigation.

    Also the school: we can’t discuss personnel matters.

    Also, also, the school: oh, and we won’t apologize to the student, the other students, the parents, or anyone else in our dumb email.

    They all need to be fired and the teacher needs to be fired and sued.

    We need more black teachers. These saltine amerikkkans have no business teaching black children!
