This is absolutely wild, y'all.
Yes, she's literally crying about THIS message from Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools 👇
Because the video was in English.
Reminder: Charlotte, NC, is in the USA!
(At least until enough foreigners move here to change the name.)
Here's more from the Spectrum News report in Charlotte:
The Wake County Public School System reported 10% of its student body, or more than 19,000 students, were out Tuesday.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools reported over 30,000 absences on Monday. On Tuesday, that number was down slightly to 25,000.
Several teachers spoke before the CMS Board of Education Tuesday, asking the district not to act as if things are business as usual when it comes to the impact of Border Patrol presence on some families.
In addition, they are requesting guidance on how to explain immigration enforcement activity in the city to students.
Hey, if they want guidance on how to explain immigration enforcement to students, I have a great curriculum.
America is America, and wherever you're from is not. You can't just move here without applying for citizenship. Go back home.
A short, simple resource that gets straight to the point!
Tiffany Newkirk, a multilingual teacher at Pineville Elementary, agrees the statements made by the district don't fully address the fears.
'Those empty seats in my building are not just numbers. They are 5-year-olds and 8-year-olds and 10-year-olds whose families are too afraid to leave their homes,' Newkirk said.
She said students attending school are asking questions.
'Those students who have come sit in hollow classrooms asking, where are my friends? Are they okay? And I don't have answers for them, not because I'm not paying attention, but because there has been no clear guidance, no language and no support for how I should respond,' Newkirk said.
It doesn't say much for the quality of people in public education when they all panic and don't know what to say to kids unless they get guidance and instructions from some pencil-pushing administrator, does it?
Remember, kids:
