According to the Daily Mail, Poinciana High School teacher Tracey Brown was recorded Monday by several students after she started a racist rant during a lesson about the Constitution and started discussing the Black Lives Matter movement after a student brought it up. She says “You’re implying that black lives are more important than anyone else and I have a problem with that.’
Brown also brought up an incident where she was jumped by gang members in Atlanta and says she had the right to “dislike blacks” after her experience. She exclaimed, ‘I was 16 years old and I was attacked on a MARTA train by a gang – wearing bandannas, a gang sign, the language of blacks in metro Atlanta. I have as much right as anyone else to dislike blacks for what happened to me. However, I am a little bit more educated than probably the average member of that gang put together and I was raised that skin tone is nothing but pigment. It has nothing to do with what is on the inside.’
