Speaker 1: The New York City Board of Education has an announcement
Speaker 1: they are launching an investigation into an assistant principle at
Speaker 1: New Door High School in Staten Island. Suspect is Deborah
Speaker 1: Morse Cunningham. Her alleged crime is that she posted an
Speaker 1: opinion piece on social media. Her post began, what is privilege?
Speaker 1: Miss Cunningham says she defines privileges wearing a pair of
Speaker 1: two hundred dollar sneakers when you've never had a job,
Speaker 1: or wearing a pair of three hundred dollar headphones while
Speaker 1: you live on public assistance. She also classified privileges living
Speaker 1: in publicly subsidized housing where there are no utility bills
Speaker 1: or property taxes to worry about. Well, the so called
Speaker 1: concerned parents saw the post and was triggered, she reported
Speaker 1: the Board of Education, claiming the post was racist, even
Speaker 1: though not one word in it mentioned race. A spokeswoman
Speaker 1: for the New York City Department of Education defended the
Speaker 1: investigation of the post. She said the d o E
Speaker 1: stands against racism and schools must be safe and inclusive
Speaker 1: learning environments. Maybe one day New York's Education Department will
Speaker 1: investigate the constitution, specifically the portion concerning free speech, which
Speaker 1: happens to be the first amendment to Bill of Rights,
Speaker 1: and they might one day investigate why so many children
Speaker 1: who attend their public schools come out completely uneducated. It
Speaker 1: was actually a brilliant, brilliant post, folks,
