LA teacher told students Lincoln was a ‘n****r-lover’ and Michael Brown ‘got what he deserved’

[lego 44,165]

 

California family sued their local school district over racist remarks they say a teacher repeatedly made to their mixed-race daughter and another black student in class.

 

The lawsuit, which was filed against the Los Angeles Unified School District, claims that teacher Steven Carnine made disparaging remarks to students about black and Jewish people, reported KCBS-TV.

 

The suit claims that Carnine handed out a questionnaire on racial stereotypes on the day after the holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. and made offensive remarks during a discussion of the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

 

“In discussing the incident, Carnine said that the guy was a thug and he got what he deserved,” the suit claims. “(The teacher also said) black people are judged for not being smart because they are not smart. A lot of them are just athletes.”

 

Carnine told students that if he were walking alone at night and noticed two black men walking behind him, he would be “scared and think they are either going to steal from me or hurt me,” the suit claims.

 

He also told students “we all know Jews like to hoard their money,” according to the suit.

 

The lawsuit claims Carnine made these remarks while looking at the mixed-race teen and the only other black student in a class of about 30 pupils.

 

The girl is an eighth-grade student at Paul Revere Charter Middle School and Magnet Center in Brentwood.

 

The eighth-grader’s father said he complained to Christopher Perdigao, principal at Paul Revere Charter Middle School and Magnet Center in Brentwood.

 

The suit claims the principal told him that Carnine was “old school” and encouraged the girl’s father to meet with the teacher.

 

That same day, according to the suit, Carnine told students that “people didn’t like Lincoln because he was a n****r-lover” as he smirked at the mixed-race girl.

 

Her parents then met with the assistant principal, Thomas Iannucci, who the suit claims dismissed their complaints and told them there was “no need to go to the press.”

 

The suit claims the teen fears for her safety and suffers from anxiety and sleep problems.

 

The lawsuit accuses the school district of violating her civil rights and seeks unspecified damages, as well as a court order directing the school district to accommodate students so they will be free from discrimination.

That person is racist and ignorant... That was horrible what he said, I'm glad they sued

Also, Lincoln abolished slavery to get a bigger army in the North, he's really overglorified a ton in the US, so he was stupid about that to call him a "n****-lover"

 “no need to go to the press.”

 

Schools and their disgusting "lets settle this in secrecy, so we don't look bad" moves are such an anchor to the improvement of the U.S education system & the discrimination/abuse that goes on within it. How sad.

These kind of people are mentally disabled, the seed of hate and racism has been rooted in them since childhood so it hard for them to change now, you just gotta wait for them to die. #SorryNotSorry

​I would cross to the other side of the street tbh regardless of who they were. Why would two men be following me at night? 

 

Why did he think he'd get away with these things though?

​Wasting my time cus you're obviously a troll; but somebody "walking behind you" =/= "following you".

​Yes, if two people were walking behind me at night I would cross to the other side of the street  this teacher is obviously racist though.

How do people like this even get allowed to teach in the first place? And California of all places?

I don't see how we still have people in the US like this. It's 200 years after slavery, nearly 50+ years after the Civil Rights movement. You'd think eventually this kind of racism would have eventually skipped a generation and eventually stopped but I guess not...

I think the new generation will be less racist

​Eventually, it's going to stop at some point but look at how the media is now. It turns things into race vs. race just for views on that news network. That's part of the problem. The other part of the problem are the people who actually ARE racist... Yeah, f*ck them.
