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.
“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.”
She seemed to be referring to a comment made by Reginald Higgins, the school district’s interim acting superintendent, who spoke about scholar Carter G. Woodson, the father of black history, earlier in the meeting.
“If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told,” Woodson wrote in his 1933 book “The Mis-education of the Negro.”
Two other adults in the virtual meeting quickly called out the professor, who was attending as a parent of a public school student.
“Allyson Friedman, what you’re saying is absolutely hearable here. You’ve got to stop,” one man snapped while others sat in shock, their hands clamped over their mouths.
The entire meeting went dead silent for about 10 seconds before the moderators apologized to the student and urged her to continue.
Backlash to Friedman’s remarks was swift once the video clip circulated online.

Is what she said somehow worse than what Newsome said about getting a low SAT score? If not, then why isn’t Newsome being similarly called out? Oh yeah, he’s a rat politician.
The Longhouse Karens are really, really concerned.
Check out the Longhouse Karens filling their panties with fresh poo.
At their core these affluent, white, female, urban liberals and karens in general are intolerant and racist.
“ Carter G. Woodson, the father of black history”
It seems she was making the same point Woodson made in 1913.
They don’t like she called out their schools for being crap, likening them to the back door of Woodson’s analogy.
LOL Imagine the leftist lip service she’s had to pay over the years just to stay in that job. Def she’s jabbed multiple times too.
AND YOU BLEW IT LADY with two sentences! Happy job hunting.
I don’t care and she should not apologized. Black teachers scream and yell racist things about white people all the time. Especially tenured college “proffesuhs”
I was riding through the hills of the Ozarks singing along to friends in low places with gusto when one the guys in the riding group cracked don’t quit your day job. I thought the damn mic was off.
