What! They are still on the payroll? Sticking children’s heads in nooses? These people you call teachers? In a university-run school?
My goodness, I can understand why so many black folk want their children to have quiality white teachers if this is the best black folk can do.
I would invite all black people to send your children to white-run, white-taught schools. At least there the teachers have enough common sense not to stick your childrens’ heads into nooses and bury them in chains as some kind of sick public humiliation/terrorism.
The administrator in Jena immediately suspectede the student who hung the nooses ,contacted the US Attorney to do an investigation, and contacted the FBI to do an investigation for any violation of Federal Law.
In short, he did his best to have them sent to a federal prison if at all possible, but the (black) US attorney and the FBI refused to cooperate with him.
How sad Grambling is not trying to send the Grambling noose teachers to a federal prison for actually sticking your babies heads in nooses and wrapping thm in chains, when the white folks are trying to send teenage white boys to prison for hanging nooses in a tree. Apparently they do not take your children’s physical safety (what happened if the teachers slipped when the kids were lifted up into the air?) nor their emotional trauma and instead hire investigators to tell you that ropes around your childrens’ necks is not traumatic (and anyway, they will for get it).
To you black parents, I do feel so sorry for you to have to put up with all this ignorance and stupidity. My goodness,what normal human being would expect this from a University school! But please remember there is still hope.
Look for white teachers from white teachers colleges and rest assured you won’t have to suffer this nonsense. If a white teacher is so stupid they pull these kinds of moronic and dangerous stunts they will be dealt with severely and not excused or ignored as Grambling is doing.
