Remember This Lying Azz Racist?? Alabama Teacher Who Told Student “We Don’t Need Another Black President” Gets Fired

Ohio Teacher Fired After Racist Remarks To Student On Being President Remember this guy??? According to Cincinnati Enquirer: The Fairfield teacher accused of slurring an African -American student lost his job Thursday in the wake of a labor hearing that concluded with that recommendation. Freshman science teacher Gil Voigt has been on unpaid leave since December. After the Fairfield Board of Education received a state referee’s decision that “there is good and just cause to terminate the teaching contract,” the board voted 4-0 Thursday evening, with one board member absent, to end his employment with the Butler County school system. Voigt has declined to comment but told The Enquirer on Friday he plans to appeal the referee’s ruling with the Butler County Court of Appeals. Fairfield Superintendent Paul Otten also recommended the board discontinue the veteran teacher’s employment contract. “The district felt that the evidence was sufficient to support the termination of Mr. Voigt’s employment. The referee recommended such termination, and the board has concurred,” said Otten in a statement released Thursday evening. Voigt is alleged to have told an African-American student at Fairfield Freshman School, who had professed his desire to follow Barack Obama as president, that “we do not need another black president.” Voigt has previously said he was misquoted by the student, whom he described as troublesome. His suspension has drawn national attention and the condemnation of officials in the Butler County school system as well as area NAACP officials. He later told Fairfield officials that what he said to the teen was, “I think we can’t afford another president like Obama, whether he’s black or white.” Voigt now has the option of appealing the referee’s decision to Butler County Common Pleas Court within 30 days. Good riddance muhfugga!

Take That: Howard University Students Protest Diddy’s Commencement Speech Because He Dropped Out

Should Diddy be allowed to do the commencement speech at Howard after dropping out? Howard University Students Protest Diddy’s Commencement Speech Via TMZ reports: DIDDY CANNOT BE SILENCED — at least at Howard University’s upcoming commencement ceremony … despite some major backlash from the student population. Howard U.’s students are up in arms after Sean “Diddy” Combs was selected to speak at the school’s graduation — mostly because Diddy dropped out of Howard … and many students believe he isn’t a worthy role model. But Howard’s not backing down — a rep for the school tells us, commencement will go forward next month as planned … with Diddy helming the prestigious commencement speech (former speakers include Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and Maya Angelou). The rep adds, “Howard University continues the tradition of identifying leaders whose work has clearly contributed to the advancement of their fields and the world … We are honored to have Mr. Combs serve as our speaker.” Mark Zuckerberg dropped out Harvard and gave a speech, why can’t Diddy?

SMH: New Report Confirms Black Children In Low-Income Communities Are Purposely Assigned Inexperienced & Ineffective Teachers

“All I wanna say is that, they don’t really care about us..” Report: Low-Income Black Students Three Times More Likely To Receive Inexperienced Teachers via Clutch Magazine The Center for American Progress issued a report on Friday that confirms that low-income students of color not only have less experienced teachers, but also less effective teachers. The study analyzes teacher evaluation scores in low-income and affluent districts in both Massachusetts and Louisiana. In Louisiana, a student within a school at the highest-poverty quartile is almost three times as likely to be taught by a teacher rated “ineffective” as a student in a school in the lowest-poverty quartile. And in Massachusetts, students in high-poverty schools are three times as likely to be taught by a teacher rated “unsatisfactory” than students in low-poverty schools. A second report indicates the root cause is an unequal distribution of teachers. While No Child Left Behind previously asked states to devise plans to ensure equitable distribution, subsequent waivers gave states the flexibility to deviate from those requirements. “Poor students and students of color are less likely to get well-qualified or high-achieving teachers than students from higher-income families or students who are white,” says the report. This definitely has to end. All students should have an equal opportunity to receive a quality education. Shutterstock

Booty Action: ‘Married To Medicine’ Star Dr. Simone Defends Dirty Dancing On Toya Bush Harris’ Husband

Is Dr. Simone giving Toya’s hubby some booty action? Dr. Simone Defends Dirty Dancing On Toya Bush Harris’ Husband The ‘Married To Medicine’ star has danced her way into controvery after getting a little too close with co-star Toya Bush Harris’ husband Eugene, Toya felt is was disrespectful to her marriage and went HAM on the doctor. The doctor cleared up the rumors via her Bravo Blog recently and claims she was just playing around with Toya’s husband, Dr. Eugene. I am totally disgusted that Toya would think my horsing around at the bowling alley was anything other than silliness. I was dancing on Dr. Eugene in a fun and joking manner. Never did I intend to evoke feelings of disrespect or disregard for my friend, Toya. Cecil and I have hung out with Toya and Eugene on numerous occasions and I assumed she knew that I respected her as my friend and love my handsome husband. Toya’s insecurities have blown my silly little gestures completely out of proportion. As a mature and professional woman, I would have preferred a one-on-one conversation with my friend, Toya, about my actions and her interpretations so that we could resolve the matter. Instead, there was an attempt to publicly assassinate my character at Heavenly’s party like we were recreating a Shakespeare play on Broadway. If I wanted to star on Broadway, I would be in New York, not Heavenly’s house. Apparently things haven’t resolved between the two women because in tonight’s episode of the angry birds almost come to blows following the confrontation: Will you be watching tonight?? Bravo

Michelle gives everyone the ho sit down! Michelle Says She Doesn’t Understand Beyonce Friendship Obsession Michelle Williams will always be the Black jelly bean of Destiny’s Child who folks absolutely LOVE to slander because, well, why NOT? The singer recently talked to TIME Magazine and discussed her frustration with fan’s constant fascination with Beyonce and her Destiny’s Step-Child sisters… “It seems to be a mystery, or a wonder, like, if we’re still friends or something. And I always wonder, what is the fascination? This is a genuine question. “Well, I’m so sorry to report—breaking news! We have very boring lives as far as that’s concerned. And once again, to even play off the Playtex campaign, to show togetherness and unity, you don’t have to be catty, you don’t have to be mean, you can support one another. “I’m just curious, like, we [Destiny’s Child] haven’t had an album out in 10 years. I’m just still wondering the fascination. And I’m not being mean or smart. That is a real question. Like, really?” #PoorMichelle

Race Matters: Beauty Supply Store Ordered Strip Search On Black Couple Over $3 Earrings…”You People Always Steal!!”

Black Couple Strip Searched Over $3 Earrings At Beauty Supply Store SMH. According to KHOU Houston: Deadra Pattum and her fiancé John Marsden have a bone to pick with Y Beauty Supply in southeast Houston. The couple said they were humiliated inside the store last week when they stopped by to purchase some hair extensions. “I’m not a thief,” said Pattum. They said they were over-billed for a pair of $3 earrings they never took. “I picked them up but I put them back,” said Pattum. “The owner said you people always steal,” said Marsden. “And he said give me the earrings and I call police. My rights were revoked. The couple claimed they were threatened and forced to remain in that store. Marsden said he was intimidated by the manager and ordered to strip down and be searched. “So I took off my socks and shoes and I took off my pants,” said Marsden. “I was nervous.” Within minutes, a security officer showed up, and immediately looked at the surveillance video. “She never left the counter with those earrings in her hand,” the guard said. “There was no evidence of shoplifting.” Houston Police agreed. Their officers looked at the same video and found no evidence of shoplifting. Activist Quanell X is now involved. “This was a classic case of racial profiling in its most humiliating form,” said Quanell X. “And something needs to be done about this.” The owners of the store refused to discuss the specific incident but said shoplifting is a big problem at their business. But Pattum insists she and her fiancé did nothing wrong. “Everybody doesn’t shoplift,” said Pattum. “Everybody is not a thief. There are still honest people in the world.” Wow. Over $3 earrings though?????? Craziness. KHOU
