White Teacher Suspended For Calling Student “White Boy”
White Teacher Suspended For Calling Student “White Boy”
VULUSIA, FLA — A white Florida teacher has been suspended for repeatedly referring to a white student as “white boy.”
Billy C. Miles, a 60-year-old white teacher in Volusia, called the student a “white boy,” and he was the only white student in the predominantly Black class. He would also refer to his students as “Black people.”
The Daytona News-Journal reports:
As Miles prepared to leave the classroom, Hyacinth reported he told the class he didn’t want the “black people” misbehaving in public and said to the only white child in the class: “Excuse me, white boy.” Other children then laughed at the boy, she reported.
Questioned by Winch, the child said Miles often called him “white boy” and sometimes made jokes about white people in class. A classmate told Winch that Miles sometimes told that boy to “get your white tail over here.”

Why You Eat Stale Popcorn At The Movies
Would you like crack or popcorn -
Getting overpriced popcorn is a part of the experience of going to a movie. And even though the popcorn often looks like it’s been sitting there for days, the butter is going to clog your arteries, and the salt is going to raise your blood pressure, you still gotta have it!
According to the University of Southern California, people can’t help themselves from eating popcorn. And apparently it doesn’t matter if the popcorn is fresh or stale because it’s a habit for most of us to have it, and the people that run movie theaters know this.

Is There Hope for Black Students When Teachers View Them As Criminals?
Is There Hope for Black Students When Teachers View Them As Criminals?
First grade teacher Jennifer O’Brien of Paterson, N.J. made headlines last week back after referring to her class of mostly Black and Latino kids as “future criminals.” In a status update on her Facebook page O’Brien wrote, “I’m not a teacher – I’m a warden for future criminals,” according to NorthJersey.com. Six hours later she continued, “They had a scared straight program in school—why couldn’t I bring 1st graders?” referring to a school event where sixth graders talked to prison inmates about the consequences of crime.
