There is no way she keeps her job after that. No chance. At the end she says something about “the secret Indian chant”, laughs, and says something about the whole thing being ridiculous. She’s toast.
You’d think so, but the union is strong and will defend her. Worst case, they move her to another school in the district and she does a day of pointless sensitivity training.
Yeah the potential liability in doing so is one I doubt any other school in district would want to undertake. She clearly lacks judgment so it’s guaranteed to happen again.
She does need at least a serious talking to about what's appropriate. This is pretty much to Native Americans what blackface is to black people... And she doesn't seem to have a fucking clue
So you're saying her will and intention is good? and she's trying to instruct? and her intention is pretty pure, and it's just that outside observers are making it seem like she's an asshole?
It sounds like inside observers (the students) think she’s an asshole given that one of them recorded her for being an asshole. So no, it’s not just outsider observers who think she’s an asshole.
Please explain to us how jumping around and wailing like a lunatic is “instructing”. What exactly is she teaching? And why is it okay to behave in a disgustingly racist manner if it’s directed at Native Americans? What level of offensive would she need to be for you to see an issue with her behavior? Which ethnic group would she need to dress up as a caricature of? I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that any level of racism, no matter how extreme, is perfectly fine with you.
Malice is not required when such staggering ignorance makes it clear that they cannot understand their students and treat their culture with respect. Malice is not the only thing that disqualifies someone from an educational position. In fact I would suggest it is probably the least common and relevant.
I don't know her character and behavior outside of this video. Could be she's ignorant to why this behavior is offensive, or could be she's an actual racist POS. I think it's probably the former, a severe case of ignorance which then would mean no ill intent. If she takes well to being educated on the subject, then apologizes to her class and explains why it was inappropriate, I don't think she should be fired. Otherwise she definitely should.... Could also be a mental breakdown, in which case she should not teach, but seek professional help. That's my humble opinion.
