  Speaker 1: Let me tell you what happened.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Alison Friedman is an associate professor of biology after Manhattan School,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Manhattan Cuny School. And there was a young eighth grader,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: black of course, who was raising concerns about her Upper
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: West Side school possibly facing a shutdown during a community
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Education council meeting. Well, Alison Freeman thought she was on mute,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and she wasn't, and she had some things to say
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: about black students. Would you like to hear what she
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: had to say? Let's listen to Allison Friedman.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: These services since first grade this Friday. He delivers lessons
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: and helps us fit those skills into.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Our lessons that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You don't know they're in a bad school.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, apparently King said it like if you trained
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: a black person well enough, they'll know use to back.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: You don't have to tell them anymore.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: As what you're saying is absolutely hearrible here. You've got
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: to stop, you big dummy.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: If you if you didn't hear what Allison said, she said,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: they're too dumb talking about black students.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: They're too dumb to know they're in a bad school.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Let's play it one more time, because did she said
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: she's talking in the background, So the student is talking
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and Allison doesn't know that she's uh, you know, unmuted.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Let's listen.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I've been receiving the services since first grade. This Friday,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: he delivers lessons, and how let's fit those skills into.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Our lessons.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: In a bad school?
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: I mean, apparently King said it like, if you train
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: a black person well enough, they'll know who use the back.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: You don't have to tell them anymore. They're also.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: What you're saying is absolutely hearrible here. You've got to stop.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: She said that black students they're too dumb to know
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that they're in a bad school. Well, Alison, you're too
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: dumb to know your mic wasn't muted. But honestly, I
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: don't think she cared. Okay, these people know they can
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: be openly racist right now and nothing will happen right
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: now as I speak, they're saying Allison is being reviewed
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: by her employer, but may keep her job thanks to
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: her because she tenure. I need my I need my
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: college professors and people in this world to help me
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: out with this, because, as far as I know, tenure
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: is an employment status commonly in teaching that provides security
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: against dismissal without just cause racism.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Not a just cause.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Like Allison said, if you train a black person well enough,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: they'll know to use the back you don't have to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: tell them anymore. She's basically saying, we will notice sit
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: in the back if we listen to mass. And she
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: was replying to a comment made by Reginald Higgins, who
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: is the school's district interim acting superintendent, who was quoting
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Cartergie Woodson Alison, not Martin Luther King. If you make
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: a man think that he is justly an outcast, you
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: do not have to order him to the back door.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: He will go without being told.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And what bothers me about these situations is, I know
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Michelle Obama says when they go low, we gotta go high.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: But what's wrong with taking things to hell?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Okay? My therapist told me that's healthy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, It's not that you matching energies, you just fitting too.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Sometimes not replying to things like this is like holding
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: in a fart now uncomfortable. That is Now, I don't
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: fart in my clothes, so I know how it feels
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the hole in the fart. But when we hear blatant
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: axe of racism like this, we have to meet the devil,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: in this case, the white devil at the doll. And
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it's not just black people, okay, white people who aren't racists.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: When you hear these blatant acts of racism like this,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you have to check it. Okay, you must use your
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: privilege to fight prejudice. I'm looking at y'all on the
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: zoom sitting in shock. No, I want to hear white
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: folks on the zoom saying, Alison, your racist petch okay,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And I want to see black people on.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: The zoom go to hell. Okay, you got slurs. We
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: got slurs too.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: You got disrespectful things to say about us, We got
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: disrespectful things to say about y'all.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Okay. I don't even expect the little eighth grader to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: have anything to say. They only in eighth grade.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Adults the village are supposed to come to the defense
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: of that young and in that moment, all right, you
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: have to tell Alison Freedman that, contrary to her wishes,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: we are absolutely freed men and women, and we have
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the right to tell her.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Okay. For a person with no lips, you sure all
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: got a lot to say.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, you can tell her that her worldview and her
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: hair looks like it stopped updating in the nineteen fifties.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: You can tell her that racism isn't an opinion, it's
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a failure to learn.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And clearly, Allison, you don't know a damn thing.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: All.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: You could just call her a milk cricket. Okay, all
