Did you assume the teacher who told children their parents will be deported was racist?

I didn’t. Here is an article and the video/audio is towards the bottom.

Please forgive anything I have written below that may come across as not politically correct.

It was a substitute teacher in Los Angeles who told a classroom of Latino kids that now that Trump was elected they will be deported.

First of all the teacher sounds like a black man to me. I had assumed it was some ignorant man against Trump who lacked the maturity to understand it’s not right to scare children like this.

I was predisposed to this idea, because facebook is full of my liberal friends sharing stories of crying children worried about their parents being deported and it pisses me off. Supposedly, classrooms around America have terrified children and “teachers and parents just don’t know what to say to the children.” Please!

The news reports I’ve seen about this particular case of the substitute teacher reports he is racist and taunting the children. It certainly is taunting no matter what, and just awful.
