A Cheltenham High School math teacher who the district said made "racially insensitive and discriminatory remarks" to several students after the presidential election has been suspended, according to a statement from the school board.

The teacher was discussing the election and the impact of a Trump presidency on the Black Lives Matter movement when she allegedly told students "to stop bitching about being black," according to Meleah Jennine Brame and other parents who met with Superintendent Wagner Marseille after the incident.

The board said the district has provided students with counseling and a safe space in which to discuss their concerns about intimidation in the high school. It plans to offer opportunities for parents to discuss the issue, and will provide updates on these and other activities related to maintaining a hate-free environment on a quarterly basis.

"I'm definitely glad to see that nothing is being swept under the rug," said Brame, a member of the Cheltenham African American Alliance. "I had confidence in Dr. Marseille when we initially met with him."

I used to live in Cheltenham Township. All kinds of ethnicities and religions and a pretty well-off inner ring suburb just north of Philly. Any snowflake who needs a safe space for being told to quit whining is not going to do well in the real world.

“to stop bitching about being black,”

Solid advice...

stop bitching about being black

But that's the only way most of the liberal black "heroes" maintain their relevance. Btw, I would bet the farm that Sheriff David Clarke would say exactly the same thing to these sheltered snowflakes.

Using the phrase...Suck it up, Buttercup", may not play well at this school.

I’m so relieved that they were afforded a safe place in which to voice their concerns.

They would have to rent out the Wells Fargo Center to have a big enough safe space if you said that there.

the only thing that can save the education state is privatization and the ability to not hire or to fire idiots.

Yeah, it’s 25 percent Jewish. I would always see Orthodox families dressed in black strolling around on Saturdays. Of course, there were Obama signs in Hebrew during the 2008 election. Funny thing was, those all dried up for 2012.

Well. The truth is that they have an awful lot to feel inferior about. Their heroes are thugs and gangsters. Their ultimate career aspirations are either a “rap artist” or sports star, and as a race they dominate every negative stereotype that exists.

Grow up, pull up your pants, accept responsibility for yourself, get an education and a job and start contributing.

It’s not that hard

Why don’t they just send their kids to school with a “blankie” like we did when our kids went off to kindergarten? Along with a pacifier for good measure.

Someone on FOX said the other night, “We send adults off to college and they come out toddlers.” Same could be said for high school. I forget what show I was watching...but it certainly seems apropos.

Meanwhile, across the land, white people are forced to attend shaming sessions known as “white privilege” discussions, in which they are taught that they have an inborn, ineradicable stigma, and are made to feel guilty and bad about themselves “because of who they are.”

This is precisely the result of teaching being taken over on a national level by the NEA.

Mark Levin also lived there. It’s a leftist crime ridden suburb of Philly with the highest school taxes in Pennsylvania. Insanity.
