Teacher Who Called Lincoln A "N***er Lover" Gets Support

Teacher Who Called Lincoln A “N***er Lover” Gets Support

Remember when we told you about that racist azz L.A. teacher who told 8th graders Lincoln was a “n***er lover” and said Mike Brown deserved to be killed?

Well in light of him being suspended, some parents and students are petitioning to have him brought back.

Because…people are stupid.

 The LA Times reports:

Parents and students are pressing for the reinstatement of a veteran English and history middle school teacher who was suspended after a student accused him of making racially charged comments in class.

Steven Carnine is suspended from his job at Revere Charter Middle School and Magnet Center pending an internal investigation by the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Carnine’s defenders call him an inspiring teacher who makes students think and skillfully uses primary historical resources in his classes, even when they contain language that would be considered offensive.

Carnine, 64, has taught in L.A. Unified since 1985, and at Revere, in Pacific Palisades, since 1991.

The accusations against him are contained in a lawsuit filed March 18 in L.A. County Superior Court against the school system and Revere by a girl identified as Maggie B. in the litigation.

In one comment, the suit alleges, Carnine said that Michael Brown, an unarmed black man who was killed in Ferguson, Mo., “got what he deserved.” The suit alleges that, in another lesson, Carnine noted that President Lincoln was disliked for being a “n-lover.”

The court filing also claims that the school did not take concerns raised by the girl’s father seriously.

After the suit was filed, the district pulled Carnine from class.

In a statement, the district declined to comment on the specifics of the case.

Revere students rallied during school hours Monday, prompting the principal to invite protesters to attend an assembly with district officials. Few questions were answered, said 8th-grader Will Elander.

An online petition, titled “Save Mr. Carnine!” had recorded 779 signatures as of early Monday evening.

SMH at people having middle schoolers go to bat for this man. Do they really not think he’s racist???

What do YOU think about this petition????
