Mr. Green

A black teacher at Manhattan’s Beacon High School told cheering students to boycott the elite campus Monday after an incident involving a white Jewish girl sparked complaints about a racist environment.
“What we’re asking of all students: Do not come to school that day to show solidarity for the support of not just students of color but all students at Beacon in providing a safe space,” said a teacher who identified himself as “Mr. Green” at Friday’s boisterous cafeteria gathering, which was videotaped.
“Until the demands are met, students are not to return to school,” the teacher exhorted the crowd of hundreds of teens.
Some Beacon students called for a sit-in instead, suggesting kids wear black and tape their faces.
But the teacher asked, “What is that going to do? Students before you, before I, have done the same thing, and nothing has happened.”
On Dec. 2, about 300 students walked out of the high-performing Hell’s Kitchen school for 40 minutes to protest admission criteria they say limit integration.
The student body is 47 percent white, 20 percent Hispanic, 14 percent black, 9 percent Asian and 10 percent “other.”
Friday’s protest was set off by allegedly “racist remarks” that a black student claimed he overheard a white Jewish girl make in a confidential meeting Tuesday with two white Jewish guidance counselors.
The girl told The Post that she was only seeking support for her own college plan at the time. Disappointed that she was put on a waitlist at a top university, she and the counselors were reviewing Scattergrams, charts on admission data, showing that some students with less academic qualifications than hers were accepted, said the teen, whose name The Post is withholding.

The black student barged into the meeting and berated the girl and her counselors, causing a commotion.
As word spread, the girl became the target of cyberbullying and threats, she said.
One Instagram post accused her of saying “minorities stole her spot,” and “Im not gonna go to schools for black and brown people or ppl who are retarded.” It concludes, “…she’s definitely Messing with wrong group of ppl. She CLEARLY don’t know how we grew up cuz that bitch looking to be destroyed LITERALLY.”
Another Instagram post said, “As a proud future QuestBridge scholar, let me tell you something about myself: I deserve it. If you got rejected from a school you wanted to attend, do not bash other people who have worked hard their entire lives and were not born with silver spoons in their mouths.”
The girl said other students twisted her words out of context and falsely accused her of racism.
Skip school. That will show you’re great students!
This won’t go well for the white girl.
The spineless administration will cave, and she will be sacrificed to the god of political correctness.
I’m convinced had the Nazis taken over America, they would have used blacks as the Death Camp Guards.
Maoist self accusations.
Some peeps need to go to the current Chinese re-education camps. [not that Islamists don’t need some re-edumacation.]
She will be shunned by all “good” schools she applies to.
Good luck getting into any decent school. I wonder if the Jewish “white girl’s” parents are Dems.
I wish I were teaching a class there, because anyone boycotting my class would get an “F”.
Noblesse oblige only goes so far.
“...Students before you, before I,”
The solution is to do away with racist tests.
“High performing.” Ha. Shut the school down let those SJW teachers and students see what life in a regular NYC school is like. As for the students who really should be in a school with stellar academic requirements perhaps they can find a better fit at a private school.
If anything this experience should prepare the young lady for what BS she can expect at some high performing college.
I’m 99.9% certain her parents are liberal Ds
Nothing to see here. just more race baiting from the left.
People forgot how to spell people?
how we grew up cuz
Cousin?
Walking out?
OK, lock the doors, put up a notice to come back next week, we will try again.
.
The teacher is leading the harassment of the white girl. The school and teacher should be sued big time.
“...safe space..”
Note that progs want children to not be triggered (by realism, life, science, or other logical things). This is their “safe space”.
However. They do not want armed teachers and would rather that a fake “physical safe space” can be achieved by disarming the general public and placing “gun free zone” signs around the schools.
And one wonders why they are considered complete idiots.
