By now most of you have seen the disturbing video of a teacher in Houston Sheri Lynn Davis beating up one of her students in a classroom. If not you can watch the video here.
After getting over the initial shock of watching the video I started to wonder where was the outrage in Black America. We all know what would have happened if the teacher in question had been white.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be in Houston right now in front of the first TV cameras they could find while The New Black Panthers marched outside the school. Black bloggers would be typing so fast and furiously that they would develop an instant case of Carpal tunnel syndrome.
But the teacher wasn't white she is black. Where is the outrage? Why isn't there the same reaction to this type of behavior?
If it would be wrong if a white teacher beats a black student shouldn't it be even more wrong when a black teacher beats a student?
I've even seen jokes about the incident and some saying that the boy had it coming. I'm quite sure not many African Americans would be saying that if the boy had been black.
It now turns out that maybe Sheri Lynn Davis should not have been in the classroom. She had no teachers certificate and a warrant out for arrest on criminal mischief charges.
The school ( Jamie's House Charter School ) should be held just as responsible as Mrs. Davis. They hired her. Also just like when police beat black men I say that the fact they it could happen reflects on the leadership, it's the same thing here.
Black people, let's not give this teacher or this school a pass. Wrong is wrong.

After the I had with my students, it's about time somebody realized we need to get back to business with our youth. They are out of control. Whip that butt 2x!
She was dress like a crip gang member. The child was not resisting her are fighting. I would have been in jail if he had been my child. This attack was just wrong. Yes, the school and the teacher should be held accountable with criminal charges and sued.
THIS is what happens when we take the cheap route. We refuse to pay for quality educators, we stopped making manners an important part of society and we sit back when things like this happen because the "teacher" happened to be black! Granted, some parents don't teach their kids a damn thing about anything and the kids act out in school, but beating a child never works and it never will.
