North Carolina mom in disbelief after son punished for calling teacher 'ma'am'

The mother of a 10-year-old boy in North Carolina is outraged that her son was recently punished for calling his fifth grade teacher "ma’am.”

Wilson noticed her son, Tamarion, was not himself when she picked him up from the bus stop earlier this week.

“I asked him what was wrong, and he told me he got in trouble for saying 'ma’am' to a teacher. I was confused,”

Inquiring further, Wilson asked her son to give more detail about the incident. That’s when the fifth-grader at North East Carolina Preparatory School in Tarboro, North Carolina, pulled out a piece of lined paper with the word ma’am written dozens of times.

Wilson was shocked, especially when Tamarion told her that his teacher, who has not been formally identified, told him that he was required to return the piece of paper with a parent’s signature.

The young boy also claimed that the teacher threatened to throw something at him during the incident, his mother said.

“He was disappointed because he felt like he had done something wrong,” she said.

The next afternoon, Wilson went to the school to meet with Tamarion’s teacher and the school's principal. With her she brought a separate piece of paper on which her son had written the definition of ma’am. (According to the Oxford Dictionaries, ma’am is defined as “a term of respectful or polite address used for a woman”).

Wilson claims Tamarion’s teacher told her that her son “was getting on her nerve when he called her ma’am" but “couldn’t give me a reason of why that was bad.” The teacher also claimed Tamarion knew that she wasn’t serious when she allegedly threatened to throw something at him, Wilson said.

Tamarion has been placed in a different teacher’s class since the incident occured.

Should have gone ghetto and called her “bitch yo”. Then it would have been all good.

1960s radical Jerry Ruben boasted, “We are stealing the youth of America right out of the kindergartens and elementary schools.” In 1958 “beatnik” Allen Ginsberg told Norman Podhoretz, “We’ll get you through your children!” This is not New York or San Francisco. It is North Carolina. It shows how extensive the Deep State penetration of the US is.

Maybe she identifies as a man. Didja ever think of that? We all need to be on our toes these days lest we insult a sexual deviant. And hell hath no fury . . .

“Well, obviously “ma’am” is just a racist teasing dog whistle as a white-privileged shortcut for “madam” - which is like, yo know, calling me a ‘ho’ ain’t it”

I am old enough to remember being told to say "yes, ma'am", "no, ma'am", "yes, sir","no, sir".

Failure to do and I was in line for a beating.



It was called "being respectful to one's elders.

BTW, “ma’am” is condensed for "my lady" of which this harridan is certainly no lady.

To this day when talking to people I barely whether black, white, poor or rich know I say "ma'am" and "sir" .

Each person I meet are given the benefit of being treated with respect and will have my respect until they are proved unworthy of respectability.

“Young man, you will address me as Comrade Teacher, not ma’am, as this is a truncated version of madam, and I am not of the bourgeoisie.”

I read the story as posted here on freerepublic and I do not see the teacher’s name. Did I miss it? If not, publish the teacher’s name. That teacher must be publicly shamed. Leftists are given way too much protection.

If so, you are probably right. White guilt because the uppity (in her mind) boy is making her feel like a slaveholders wife. So her poor self image is all the youth’s fault.

She’s been well trained in college, it appears.
