A Hunter College professor who sparked widespread outrage after she was caught making a “blatantly racist” comment during a New York City public schools video meeting is being reviewed by her employer — but may keep her job thanks to her cushy tenure.
Allyson Friedman, an associate professor of biology at the Manhattan CUNY school, came under fire after her shocking remarks were caught on a hot mic, interrupting a black eighth-grader who was raising concerns about her Upper West Side school possibly facing a shutdown during a Community Education Council meeting on Feb. 10.
“They’re too dumb to know they’re in a bad school,” Friedman was heard saying while her mic was unknowingly unmuted, according to a recording of the meeting posted online. “If you train a black person well enough, they’ll know to use the back,” she said. “You don’t have to tell them anymore.”
Now there's some good 'ole fashioned racism there. And yes, she should be fired immediately, especially since the evidence is right there on tape for everyone to see. What's funny tho is how Professor Freidman thought that she was on mute when she made her racist remarkss, but she wasn't..poor thing. And the lack of outrage from her fellow panelists is also pretty noticable, which tells you more about the state of white liberalism.
