White Teacher Under Fire For Singing 'Monkey' Song On Black Boy's Birthday

A white teacher in Florida is under fire after she sang a "monkey" birthday song to a six-year-old Black boy at school.

In a video shared on TikTok, the boy's classmates and teacher first sang the traditional "Happy Birthday" song to celebrate the occasion. The teacher then delivered what the boy's mother believes was a racially charged version of the birthday song.

"Happy birthday to you. You live in the zoo. You look like a monkey, and you smell like one too," the teacher recited, leaving several children visibly uncomfortable and confused.

The mother of the boy, identified as six-year-old Legend, called the teacher's song a racial insult.

“I’m sharing this so people understand what my son experienced in his classroom. A birthday should be celebrated with kindness, not racial jokes from an adult in a position of authority," the mother said.

Let's see how many of the right wingers make excuses for this.

What a disgrace.

We used to sing that to each other when we were kids in the 1960s.

Probably not appropriate for a teacher to say, but I doubt there was malice involved.

Makes me glad I didn't go into teaching.
 
Cops kill far fewer blacks than other races, even when you compensate by using per capita calculations.
Maybe, but they beat, harass, plant and accost black folks more than anyone. If you are using your excuse of per capita then black folks are killed more. Black folks make up 13% of the population, whites make up 69%, so if 15 black folks are killed a year as compared to 17 white folks a year, which number per capita is greater?

You' re wrong. Modern studies have shown that police treat blacks with kid gloves compared to whites, asians and latinos. A black is far more likely to make a false report about police conduct even with the evidence of nearly universal body cams. Why do you think police officers LOVE body cams. They protect the cops from bullcrap complaints.

What modern studies? Post 3 of them. Why would they hate them, you can see a cop murdering someone black on body cam and racist like you will still make excuses for it.

Sage Journals? You are a white man, that is posting bullshit, something that whites have done since this country was taken. Black folks have been harassed, set up, beaten and murdered by the police from slavery until today.

Keep living in the past and nurturing old grievances that do nothing except hurt you and people like you. You are the reason that some blacks have problems. At every contact with the police, or even civilian whites, you look for reasons to be offended. Grow up, you have it better right here and now than 99% of the human race.

Spare me that bullshit, we are living in today and see many of the same injustices that happened in the past.

Why? Because you don't see my feet or see me smiling all the time when wrong is being done to us.

At every injustice whites like you run out and make excuses about the wrongdoing that has been done. Shithead I have probably been grown longer than you have.

I doubt that. I'm over seventy years old and have seen massive positive changes in the treatment of blacks in my lifetime. People like you that demand perfection in human beings do nothing but retard progress.

Yep. I was a young child living in Montgomery Alabama during the 60s. "Colored need not apply" "Colored water fountain" and "Colored Bathroom" were signs I remember because they were so confusing to me.
