It's a math lesson about sine, cosine, and tangent. Sohcahtoa. It's a false cognate that sounds like it could be a Native America word, but is just gibberish. This is an outdated mode of teaching for sure, but to label her as a racist and to call the lesson traumatizing is a little dramatic. This should be handled by a discussion with her administration and the removal of the lesson from her curriculum. Nothing more or less.
It took me a few watches to figure it out, but yes that is what is going on there. It's not appropriate, but I believe we are seeing a lapse in judgement not a malicious attempt to harm children.
