Carl Pasowicz Whitney Young Teacher Suspended for Hanging Black Doll when another teacher found a black doll hanging from his classroom.
The Whitney Young teacher claimed that he found the doll in the classroom and hung it to see if someone would claim it.
However, the intent of someone finding the doll did not get the attention Carl Pasowicz alleges he expected.
The black doll was a football player dangling from a rope by his neck. The black history teacher spotted the doll because it was hanging in the front of the classroom.
A heated argument then broke out. The confrontation was caught on video. One teacher called it “Stupid”. In the audible the teachers continued to argue back and forth. “You[’re] f- – – – n’ stupid,” the other teacher replies. “And you’re even more stupid [inaudible].” The other teacher responds, “Shut up! Shut up!” In a comment apparently directed at students, he adds, “He’s wrong.”
Parents spoke out about the incident, and the teachers name was revealed on social media.
One activist posted also the details to Facebook saying, Content warning:
