A highly charged political debate between a student and his teacher is garnering a lot of attention. The video captured 10 minutes of the confrontation, though the student said the debate lasted longer.
The video begins as the Latino student and his teacher debate about police brutality in America. The student cites facts — that black-on-black crime is more prominent and police shoot more white people — but the teacher simply dismisses the argument by criticizing him.
“You’re clearly a radical, a conservative,” the teacher says.
As the debate goes on, the student says he obtains his statistics from the FBI, which the teacher said is “seeded in white supremacy.” She later tells the non-white student that he is a byproduct of white supremacy.
Midway through the debate, when the teacher and student are discussing terrorism, the teacher appears to say “every white man perpetuates domestic terrorism.”
For several minutes, the two argue about the definition of terrorism. The student maintains that terrorism is using violence in the pursuit of political goals, while the teacher said the “terrorism” label in America is essentially racist. That’s when the student read the definition of “terrorism” from the Merriam-Webster dictionary, proving him correct.
However, the teacher denied that the dictionary was correct and said that she “bets” that she is smarter than it.
At the end of the confrontation, the teacher told the student that his points were wrong because he was using words incorrectly and didn’t know their definition. Remember, the teacher denied the textbook definition of the word “terrorism.
The student, who wished to remain anonymous, told TheBlaze the confrontation took place in his 12th grade creative writing class. He attends high school in the Hudson Valley area.

She was talking loudly about Trump and I am one of the few
right-wingers in my school. So she asked me why I supported him seeing as how I am Latino, and he hates us. I responded saying that he doesn’t hate Latinos, he just wants to remove Illegals from the US. It then shifted to how there are a war on blacks and other minorities because of cop killings, and stated that the FBI statistics I was using were skewered because it was seeded on white supremacy. It finally shifted to where she said how when its a Muslim attack, its labelled terrorism, but Vegas was not since he was white. I told her that so far, unless something turns up, we have not found any political or religious aims, and therefore it cannot be viewed as a terrorist incident because the definition of terrorism states violence in the pursuit of political aim (((anti-fa))). At that point, she claimed multiple times the dictionary was wrong and that she knew more than it.
I was only able to capture 90% of the confrontation. Sorry for low quality and my slight stuttering, it comes and goes randomly I have no idea why.
Another typical liberal blowhard teacher who spews emotional arguments like they were facts.
She was rude, had no debate skills at all, and was illogical and is an embarrassment to teachers.
The kid made her look like the fool she is.
The saddest part is our public schools are staffed with people just like her.
Teachers are the people most resistant to learning that I know. And stupid as well.
This turd “teacher” has no business being within 100 miles of students.
You are our future.......
Actually the teacher is correct. The student does not know tge definition of words. The practice of literary and historical deconstruction has succeeded in redefining words and ideas and in rewriting the so called narrative to fit their theory of intersectionality. Orwell knew this would happen.
I put this Facebook.
then the only logical result is to expel the kid from the classroom.........Makes sense to me!
A leftists idea of a strong argument.
This “teacher” should be removed from the classroom. Aside from the obvious point that she’s letting students know her political views, which ought to be strictly off limits, she also doubts official government statistics and dictionary definitions of words. That’s a horrible place to be for a “teacher”. Ridiculous.
What a sharp young man. The teacher was nothing be a blabbering motor mouth. She never shut up. Her debate skills singly consist of a hammer.
“What a sharp young man. The teacher was nothing be a blabbering motor mouth. She never shut up. Her debate skills singly consist of a hammer.”
That sharp young man was totally flabbergasted by what was coming out of his “teachers” mouth.
I would say that this “teacher” gave quite a good lesson that day.
But but, she’s an “educator”.
With a degree in “eddikashun”.
We should believe everything she says.
Just wait for her views on climate change.
That woman is a teacher because she’s too dumb to make a living saying “fries wit dat?”
Facts is racist!!!
