What did you think would happen? You wouldn't be in this mess if you showed regard for the laws of probability and understood that it would take one person to push your shyt in. You're teaching 10s of students, odds are at least one of them is racist or a sell out.

Growing up in Alabama myself I can tell you about how white people look at a black teacher teaching their kids sideways most of the time. Keep going though breh, you've already started down the path. Teachers and coaches move around a lot in the education profession.

joke with 7 year olds about voting and race questions brehs
Yea, this.

This was a middle school and you essentially made a play on the name of the school to indicate that it's why it's so racially homogeneous.

Considering what you know about this Society, did you think you were planting a seed of inquiry and knowledge in them or did you think you gave them fodder for a new type of race joke about lack of blacks from the school by the cool new teacher Mr. Preacher?

I can't imagine what you think a white middle schooler in a school with no minority students is supposed to turn into when he/she is getting minstrel level comedy routine in their classroom.

I'm almost positive that as soon as you completely clean on your desk... the remaining racist administration/staff will chuckle at your joke in private and say some shyt like, "Boy Mr. Preacher was an uppity one, but he sure was funny."

Lesson learned. I admit the last comment was out of bounds. I'm just moreso upset as to why I lost my job after the first offense. But I guess that's just how things are when it comes to racial comments such as that one. Like I said, I owned my mistake. I'll take that L and keep it moving.


Thing is bruh, you got hit with all 3 strikes in one go.

If you weren't aware, he was building a case record against you with each of the 3 instances he cited. Any one of them alone, even maybe the "White plains" joke, would have been solved with a warning, but the fact he built a track record of you making racial based comments and then the joke came out, he had all the ammo he needed. He gave you enough rope to hang yourself.

Don't get carried away man. I made a mistake. Won't happen again. Was just a joke I cracked while calling the role. Should've been smarter. Its all good.

That's the thing though, the 1st 2 comments weren't racially inappropriate at all. He didn't even comment on the "german" or "mixed" comment. The white plains joke was the only one he had something to say about because after I explained myself, those first two really weren't bad.

I believe if I had only made the white plains joke, I still would've been fired. There was no "3 strikes".

Too bad you weren't teaching English to younger kids. This would've been the perfect introduction to the letter L.

OP found out that being the only male isn't safe...especially when you're black and gay.

Slow it down I just dissed you. :troll: just playing breh

Breh, I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to shame you. I did come off hostile. My bad. I truly appreciate your candidness.

From the little I know about you, I do believe you had good intentions and most likely a good heart. We all fukk up.

Yeah. Believe it or not, I didn't hear anything about that comment even though it was the worse thing I've said as a teacher.
Although they might not have mentioned it, I bet that was the comment that got back to them that made them decide to fire you.

I'm sure you'll find another gig. Good luck.

:ld:Director ---- "Interesting, the last comment said that you referred to the school as White Plains because there were little to no minority students there. Is this true?"

:francis: Me --- "*sigh* This is true. I can see how that would be taken the wrong way. It was just a joke because I had a class with no minority students so I made the joke: Ahh I see why they call it White Plains Middle School.

:dead: :dead:
