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.

That is absolutely a disgrace. Completely unacceptable and the teacher should be fired, no question, assuming the story is true.

A chimp looks more like a white man than a black man.

Not with those lips and nose.

When was the last time you read something on The Internet that was actually true?

And not just something you want to believe is true.
