at least they were suspended, so that's encouraging
An Oakland County, MI biology teacher has been suspended after including a photo of Barack Obama in an assignment with several primates that asked, “Which of the following are primates?”https://t.co/NQo7lAYg6R
funny how he said she wants to bring in undocumented people. And she should go back to where she came from…I wonder if he remembers all the undocumented people they brought in on those ships from Africa. These people have lost their filters, trumpenstein must be an exorcist…. Cause he brought out all these demonic people.
The name carries weight in Richmond these days. Over the past three years, as the former capital of the Confederacy has taken down more than a dozen monuments to the Lost Cause, Henry — who is Black — has overseen all the work.
These aren't huge jobs, but they pay well and plenty of contractors would like a shot at them. So why did Henry get every single contract?
City and state officials said they turned to Team Henry Enterprises after a long list of bigger contractors — all White-owned — said they wanted no part of taking down Confederate statues.
For a Black man to step in carried enormous risk. Henry concealed the name of his company for a time and long shunned media interviews. He has endured death threats, seen employees walk away and been told by others in the industry that his future is ruined. He started wearing a bulletproof vest on job sites and got a permit to carry a concealed firearm for protection.
....The call that changed Henry’s life came in the middle of a business meeting in early June 2020....On the line was Clark Mercer, the chief of staff for then-Gov. Ralph Northam....“I was pretty forthcoming that we hadn’t been able to find anybody to take on the job,” Mercer said in an interview. In fact, the responses from other contractors were “pretty overtly racist,” he said, including language that he found threatening.
I can't even think of anything to say about this. It's just so goddamn depressing.
DB,
