Speaker 1: Your execution on the Donkey of the day is something to.
Speaker 2: Go for you.
Speaker 3: The reason they gave me Donkey of the day and
Speaker 3: I deserve that you.
Speaker 2: Need to know? Would you need to tell them? I am?
Speaker 3: You have the boy, tell them.
Speaker 2: It's time for Donkey of the day.
Speaker 3: It's a read. But you're so good at charlamage. He
Speaker 3: want charlamage to damn chlomamee whore Donna give a dusky
Speaker 3: the other day soon.
Speaker 4: Now, Yes, donkey today for Monday, March twenty fifth, goes
Speaker 4: the tail Of Preparatory High School in Detroit. Slu to
Speaker 4: everyone who listens to us on w j LB in Detroit,
Speaker 4: drop one the clothes.
Speaker 2: Bombs for the day. Detroit.
Speaker 4: We have a small problem this morning. See there's a
Speaker 4: history teacher named Dominique Brown. And if you ask me,
Speaker 4: there is an injustice that happened to Dominique because Dominique
Speaker 4: Brown was let go from her job at Tailor Preparatory
Speaker 4: High School. Yes, let go, fire, terminated, discharged, all because
Speaker 4: they didn't like her side hustle, all because teachers are
Speaker 4: so underpaid in this country that a lot of them
Speaker 4: have to try to find other sources of incomes.
Speaker 2: Are other careers. Okay, trust me.
Speaker 4: My mother was an English teacher in South Carolina, and
Speaker 4: I've said on this radio public school teachers are disgustingly underpaid,
Speaker 4: all right, The humans that we entrust with our most
Speaker 4: prized possessions, our children, are barely getting by. There was
Speaker 4: a survey done by Anya dot org that found teachers
Speaker 4: work more hours per week than other working adults.
Speaker 2: Yes, an estimated fifty three.
Speaker 4: Hours per week, seven more hours than the average working adult.
Speaker 4: And teachers, no surprise here, report much less satisfaction with
Speaker 4: their base pay than other working adults, and twenty five
Speaker 4: percent of their work is uncompensated.
Speaker 2: Did you hear what I just said?
Speaker 4: Twenty five percent of all the work teachers do is uncompensated,
Speaker 4: and sixty six percent say their base salary is inadequate,
Speaker 4: compared with thirty nine percent of working adults. Okay, it's terrible,
Speaker 4: horrible for what teachers mean to us in our communities.
Speaker 4: It's actually kind of criminals. So when you have teachers
Speaker 4: like Dominique who clearly love what they do because they're
Speaker 4: really you know, there really is no reason to be
Speaker 4: a teacher other than love, because you know you're gonna
Speaker 4: be overworked and underpaid to If Dominique wants to have
Speaker 4: a side hustle, God bless her. I know what you're thinking, Uncleshalla.
Speaker 4: What you're saying sounds good. But before I agree, what
Speaker 4: is her side hustle? Well, let's go to WTAE Detroit
Speaker 4: for the report.
Speaker 2: Police.
Speaker 1: Dominique Brump, whose rap name is Dripping Honey, has been
Speaker 1: an educator for seven years and started teaching history at
Speaker 1: Taylor Preparatory High School in August, but all that came
Speaker 1: to an abrupt end months later after she says a
Speaker 1: parent came across one of her rap videos.
Speaker 5: The first meeting that I had was like the principal
Speaker 5: dund and they had told me that the parent wished
Speaker 5: to stay anonymous, and she felt as if she didn't
Speaker 5: like my rap career and that I was a bad
Speaker 5: influence on the kids because I rap.
Speaker 1: She said she was fired in February because she's a rapper.
Speaker 1: Before the firing, around Thanksgiving, she says, there were meetings
Speaker 1: and an ultimatum.
Speaker 5: My mind, in my heart was telling me two things.
Speaker 5: I'm just I couldn't see myself like giving up my
Speaker 5: other passion just because somebody didn't like it. They said,
Speaker 5: erase all your content. That was all and maybe erast
Speaker 5: all your content. I'm just like, respectfully, I can't do that.
Speaker 1: Brown acknowledges the profanity in her lyrics, but she says
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with Taylor Prepp and the
Speaker 1: positive impact she's had on her students and the community.
Speaker 1: In February, on her last day, she created a music
Speaker 1: video with her students that has since gone viral. Christina
Speaker 1: Lenz says her son in eleventh grader started a petition
Speaker 1: in supportive miss Brown, gathering over two hundred student signatures.
Speaker 2: Dropping the Clues Box with Dominique brownieka Dripping.
Speaker 4: Honey, Dripping Honey fired because of an anonymous hating as
Speaker 4: parent complaining saying she's a bad influence on her students
Speaker 4: because she's a rapper.
Speaker 2: How you feel like that?
Speaker 4: In Detroit, home with some of the most influential people
Speaker 4: ever to pick up a microphone, there is nothing but
Speaker 4: a bunch of rapidy, rap ass Negroes and Caucasians in Detroit. Okay,
Speaker 4: people in Detroit started rapping soon as they come out
Speaker 4: the womb, soon as they get smacked on the ass
Speaker 4: by the doctor. They don't cry. They start spitting, Boss,
Speaker 4: I don't even know what it thought. Trick Trick, Ice
Speaker 4: wear Vessel, Side of Babies, Baby Phase Rade forty two,
Speaker 4: Doug cast Doll, Royce five nine d twelve, Danny Brown.
Speaker 2: Oh he tries Big Sean. Oh.
Speaker 4: They got this one guy who's considered by many one
Speaker 4: of the greatest of all time. He's not on my
Speaker 4: personal list, but objectively speaking, you can't deny his place
Speaker 4: in hip hop culture. Marshall matters is that name ring
Speaker 4: a bell? What I'm telling you is rapping in Detroit
Speaker 4: is like breathing, okay, and being from Detroit. There's a
Speaker 4: lot of other side hustles she could be doing that
Speaker 4: could be considered a bad influence, but rapp ain't one
Speaker 4: of them.
Speaker 2: Yo.
Speaker 4: Now she got a record, okay. You heard them talk
Speaker 4: about it in the news report.
Speaker 2: I saw. I watched it on YouTube.
Speaker 4: It's called Dripping One on One And in the video
Speaker 4: she has some.
Speaker 2: Of her students, you know actually in the video.
Speaker 4: In the description of the video, it says, Dripping one
Speaker 4: on one featuring the best students in the world.
Speaker 2: All I hear is a positive anthem.
Speaker 4: Okay, a positive anthem okay, encouraging young ladies not to
Speaker 4: be ho east. Okay, I don't know how old Dominique
Speaker 4: Brown is, but she doesn't look old. And this is
Speaker 4: the first time, probably ever in the history of life,
Speaker 4: that the age demographics between adults and kids is really
Speaker 4: non existent. And what I mean by that is the
Speaker 4: stuff we was raised on in the nineteen hundreds and
Speaker 4: early two thousands really ain't no different from you know
Speaker 4: what these kids is on now. It's the same type
Speaker 4: of content. Okay, argue amongst yourselves. We try to act
Speaker 4: like our generation was so much better. They might have
Speaker 4: been talent wise, but the content is the same.
Speaker 2: Okay. How is the generation to raise off?
Speaker 4: Nwa Uncle Luke lil Kim three six, Mathia and Eminem.
Speaker 4: Gonna judge anybody, Okay, as long as that woman is
Speaker 4: doing what she's supposed to be doing in that classroom
Speaker 4: and her kids are learning and passing. If she wants
Speaker 4: to rap in her spare time, let up. And I
Speaker 4: bet you all of those kids trust her more than
Speaker 4: they trust any other teacher in the school because she
Speaker 4: speaks their language.
Speaker 2: Okay, how about this?
Speaker 4: Instead of stopping teachers side hustles, how about improving pay
Speaker 4: because a lot of teachers are getting out of the
Speaker 4: teaching business, and a lot of teachers aren't looking to
Speaker 4: a lot of people aren't even looking to get into
Speaker 4: the teaching business. So if you want to recruit and
Speaker 4: retain educators, get their money up, but not only that,
Speaker 4: improve the number of hours worked in their overall working conditions.
Speaker 4: That's how you gonna keep teachers wanting to be teachers.
Speaker 2: And then the mean time.
Speaker 4: You shouldn't try to stop them from rapping to potentially
Speaker 4: find the career to make its meat. You should be
Speaker 4: ashamed that they have to attempt to rap to find
Speaker 4: a career that make ins meat because you not paying
Speaker 4: them enough as a teacher. Please give Preparatory High School
Speaker 4: in Detroit the biggest s hull.
Speaker 2: What y'all is giggling at looking at her?
