The video, which has amassed over 100 comments, begins toward the end of their IRL conversation, but it can be assumed the mom disagreed with the teacher\u2019s remarks on George Floyd. \u201cI don\u2019t feel as though that this conversation that you\u2019re having with our children is a good one,\u201d the parent says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s 2020, you got racist-ass motherfuckers that don\u2019t care,\u201d the concerned mom continues. The teacher tries to jump in but is quickly cut-off by the mom\u2019s rant. \u201cNow you\u2019re in school, talking to my kid about George Floyd. They ain\u2019t got nothing to do with this. You\u2019re having an ignorant, disrespectful conversation. \u2018He wasn\u2019t supposed to be honored.\u2019 Are you saying this because you\u2019re white?\u201d the mom rhetorically asks. Then another student, who has a Trump 2020 sign hanging on his wall, pops onto the screen and says, \u201cIt has nothing to do with race.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-reddit wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-card\"><p>      <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PublicFreakout\/comments\/j165jn\/woman_goes_off_on_teacher_for_george_floyd_remarks\/?ref_source=embed&amp;ref=share\">Woman goes off on teacher for George Floyd remarks<\/a> from      <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PublicFreakout\/\">PublicFreakout<\/a>    <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.redditmedia.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The mom is not amused.

Isn\u2019t ignoring current events a disservice to the students?\u201d one user asks. \u201cYes, they should learn about politics and current events, and the death of a man in police custody is learning about justice, reforms, law, ethics, constitution, human rights, etc et. Anyone who say otherwise probably didn\u2019t get the correct education in the first place, and lacks critical thinking,\u201d another user replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I can\u2019t form much of an opinion on this because it\u2019s missing context. Although it sounds like the mom is accusing the teacher of saying GF shouldn\u2019t have been honored, which would be disrespectful and understandably provoke some anger,\u201d another user noted.<\/p>\n<p>Others questioned whether politics should be discussed in grade school, pushing some users to quickly question how a human issue\u2014like a cop killing a civilian\u2014falls under political discourse. \u201cThe problem is the murder of a civilian by a cop is classed as politics,\u201d one user said. \u201cWe want the kids to be as unprepared for real life as possible when they leave school. But by god they\u2019ll learn the quadratic formula,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n<p>The topic of racial discussions in the classroom has been a long and ongoing debate in American education systems. In a study by the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/programs\/coe\/indicator_clr.asp#:~:text=In%202017%E2%80%9318%2C%20about%2079,1%20percent%20of%20public%20school\">National Center for Education Statistics<\/a>, it was reported that close to 79% of public school teachers between the 2017-2018 school year were white. This lack of diversity in the classroom has resulted in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/amid-racial-reckoning-teachers-are-reconsidering-how-history-taught-n1235806\">critique<\/a> toward American social studies and history courses, which often are taught through a white lens and palliate racism to paint white American history inauthentically. Similar to the mother\u2019s critique of the teacher\u2019s comments, conversations about racial injustice in grade school settings should state the facts and allow students to converse among themselves, without a teacher forcing their own opinion on a group of children.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Todays_top_stories\"><\/span>Today\u2019s top stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Hilton worker says he was fired for viral TikTok videos about the hotel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Teens are staging Zoom kidnappings to get out of online classes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Internet outraged by charges in Breonna Taylor case<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailydot.us18.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=557794e049a42cb8dcdf4eacc&amp;id=14207741b3\">Sign up<\/a>\u00a0to receive the best of the internet straight to your inbox.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit\">\n<p>                                                                                                <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PublicFreakout\/comments\/j165jn\/woman_goes_off_on_teacher_for_george_floyd_remarks\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web2x&amp;context=3\">@manny8086\/Reddit<\/a><br \/>\n                                    <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/irl\/mom-interrupts-teacher-george-floyd-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Mom interrupts Google Meets class after teacher\u2019s remarks about George Floyd &#8221; &#8216;Are you saying this because you\u2019re white?&#8217; A nearly one-minute clip was posted to Reddit on Monday morning showing an upset parent critiquing a teacher\u2019s lesson during a Google Meets call.
