Social Media Strikes in Two SPS Schools

First up, Hamilton International Middle School.

It was reported to me that a couple of days ago a student in a class took video of his teacher warning students about not supporting a certain, very popular YouTube channel because the channel and the ones it retweets to its 75 million (yes, million) followers can be (looks at list): racist, homophobic, mysogynistic, and anti-Semitic.  The video has had nearly 2M views.

I also heard that there were reported bomb threats to the school and police came out, either today or yesterday.   I have calls into SPD and SPS but mum's the word so far.

Then the student tweeted out the video (I will not be linking the video as this particular YouTube star and his minions are a nasty bunch).   This student said:

Our history teacher told us that by supporting @pxxxxxxx, we are supporting anti-Semitism, racism, ignorance, etc. He also said that @WSJ is a very reputable news source. How ignorant can you get? The political arguments are more and more ironic daily. 


Obviously this student is bright (he knows what the Wall Street Journal is) and sadly, for his age, a bit jaded.  Maybe that's the Trump effect.  We don't get to hear whatever the discussion was that preceded the video but the teacher is clearly somewhat upset. He seems to be trying to warn students that when they watch, comment and retweet videos/statements that have ill-conceived statements, they, too, are complicit.  And, that it could hurt them someday. 

The teacher is right. 

This particular YouTube star likes to make ill-conceived statements and then say they are a joke.  Or we're past that particular phrasing as being bad.   Raise your hand if you said the oft-tried but lacking, "It's just a joke."  I did...when I was 12.  This is what we are dealing with except that the alt-right seems to love this guy. 

The student also tweeted this:

Let's get someone with influence to see this so we can get people to know how bad things are getting

and this:

Schools gonna be a blast tomorrow huh. I'll keep y'all updated

What would happen to me if I said the schools name and the teacher's name. Legally could they do anything to me

To which another person noted that maybe the student shouldn't have put it up at Twitter and should have used an anonymous site.  

Many people tweeted comments to the student like this:

Report them to the school administrator.

Holy frick this teacher is so stupid. I feel bad for any kids he teaches/has taught. If you’re going to make those allegations you need something that isn’t the WSJ to back them up. Bet he just read a headline and didn’t even think about it.

Everything he's saying are false claims that he has made up to fit his agenda and stop the spread of such "antisemitic" content. 

Others said things like this:

We’re all human and even teachers have lessons to learn, no reason for him to lose his job

To everyone that's saying the teacher should get fired: I don't think he should, he's a very talented and interesting teacher when he is teaching and not trying to force his opinion on people.(and he rarely try's to)

 Next story, Roosevelt High School. 

A non-tenured teacher was recently let go.  Apparently there had been an incident in the teacher's class that made the teacher come down hard on all the students.   Apparently, it made some kids very, very mad.  Days later, some kids found some relatively old Facebook posts of the teacher's that were objectionable.  (I do not know the content or context.)

And the teacher was exited.   I was told the teacher was a one, if somewhat excitable.

Clearly, because t's a personnel matter, SPS isn't going to tell me anything.  But clearly, the Board needs to get cracking on that social media policy.
