Teacher accused of choking, punching and dragging special education students
PIEDMONT, Okla. – A former special education teacher is accused of choking and dragging her students, along with multiple other allegations of physical abuse, according to KFOR.
Piedmont police arrested Holly Noelle Morris, 38, after parents complained.
According to an affidavit, one student’s mother became concerned when she noticed bruising on her son’s neck and face.
The mom tried contacting Morris, but told Piedmont police the teacher always had an excuse.
The allegations go as far back as January.
Witnesses, including students and staff, said they saw Morris choking, punching, pinching and squeezing two of her students on several occasions on the bus, in the bathroom, classroom and hallways, according to the affidavit.
Morris was even seen on video dragging a special needs child down the hall, according to police.
On another occasion, she allegedly dragged the same student down the hallway to the bus, cursing at a group of students telling them to “move out of the damn way.”
One mother even showed the bruised photos of her son to Morris earlier in the school year.
Morris resigned from Piedmont Public Schools in February.
She is charged with two misdemeanors of causing a child to be deprived, and was released after posting bond of $1,500 for each count.
KFOR made several calls to the superintendent that weren’t returned.
Latino Man Insulted When Starbucks Barista Writes Slur On Cup The coffee giant tried to apologize with a $50 gift card — which was refused.
Starbucks’ plan to close more than 8,000 locations on May 29 for employees to receive racial bias education can’t come soon enough for one Los Angeles-area man.
The man, who the media has identified as both “Pedro” and “Peter,” ordered two iced coffee drinks Tuesday afternoon at a Starbucks in La Canada.
An employee called out the name “Pedro” when the order was ready at the counter. But the drinks came with something the customer didn’t expect, want or desire: On both cups, according to KNBC-TV, the word “beaner” was written.
“It’s an offensive word used towards Latinos,” Pedro told KNBC’s sister station, Telemundo 52……..

Teacher accused of drowning raccoons, opossum in class
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A Florida high school agriculture teacher has been accused of drowning wild animals in a trash can as students watched and participated, CBS reports. The animals included a raccoon that had eaten one of the chickens the class was raising.
“It made me sick. It made me sick to my stomach,” says the mother of a student who took surreptitious pictures of the event.
The teacher reportedly trapped the raccoons in metal cages, then lowered the cages into water-filled trashcans.
“My son stood in the background, hid his phone and watched as they filled these trash cans full of water, and held these raccoons down in trash cans in the cages,” she tells FOX.
The Forest High School teacher, Dewie Brewton, was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, per the Ocala StarBanner. He has been the school’s Future Farmers of America adviser since 2006.
Officials received multiple complaints about the event; a district spokesperson says officials were told the animals were drowned “because [they] were nuisance animals to the ag program.”
In all, two raccoons and an opossum were reportedly killed.
“While law enforcement tells us the teacher did not do anything illegal, his actions before students are certainly questionable,” a rep for the school district said.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation officials are also looking into the matter and will determine if laws were broken.

Police shut down woman who called 911 on black real estate investor
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis real estate investor inspecting a house he was purchasing says he was harassed by a neighbor who called police on him, according to WREG.
The neighbor he said was harassing him claimed he was acting suspiciously at a vacant property known to attract crime — and said she wasn’t the one who dialed the police.
Michael Hayes’ video has been viewed nearly 2 million times on YouTube since it was posted May 5.
Hayes says he was looking at a house he had under contract to buy near the University of Memphis. He put a sign in the yard, waved at a woman next door, then began pulling a board off the door so he could take photos of the property, he said.
That’s when neighbor Tiffany Albert yelled at him that he couldn’t do that and threatened to call police, he said. He began recording and waited for two Memphis police officers to arrive.
“This is what we go through,” Hayes says to the camera. “Young black man out here trying to do what’s right, and we get the police called on us.”
On Wednesday, Albert told WREG that she’s not racist, adding that she is “Spanish” and her boyfriend is black. Albert said she knows the owner and takes care of the lawn.
She said the vacant house is a hot bed for crime, so she was worried when she woke up to the sound of the boards being pulled off, and claimed Hayes wouldn’t show her paperwork or a business card until police showed up. Hayes said in the video that he showed her the sign that he posts in yards so residents know why he’s there. He later told police that he didn’t give her the paperwork from the owner because he felt threatened and didn’t want her coming close to him.
The video shows Memphis officers arrive and explain to Albert that Hayes has a right to be on the property. When Albert tries to tell Hayes, “Hurry up, do it and get out,” one officers tells her, “No, no, no, he can take his time.” Her partner adds, “He can take all day.”
Both officers agreed to Hayes’ request that they wait for five minutes while he took the pictures, and the three even posed for a selfie after he got done.
The Memphis Police Dept. later released a statement saying the video shows the officers responding to a complaint in a professional way.
“We are thankful to Mr. Hayes for recording a positive interaction with MPD officers and for sharing the true image of what our officers represent,” the department said.

Elfen’s TBT TOP 40 R&B of 1985 Loose Ends Hangin’ On A String
Loose Ends Album release date August 17 th 1985
The year was 1985. This is pre internet, smartphones, Twitter, Black Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Black folks of 1985 was listening to the radio or on the move with their Walkman. The R&B radio station I was bumpin’ to in my home city and state of Tacoma WA was 1250 Kfox am and one of the songs topping the 1# spot in the U.S R&B top 40 for 1 week was Hangin’ On A String by a British R&B Band called Loose Ends. Notice you can understand EVERY word. And the lead singers aren’t cussing and no one is saying nigga every few verses. The message is simple and to the point. Back in 1985 the radio personalities choose the song being played. They got to play what they liked and thought their listening audience might like it too. This song was on the niddle every time this song was requested. I even remember calling in to request this jam!

White Man Goes On Rant About People Speaking Spanish In NYC
The man tells an employee “Your staff is speaking Spanish to customers when they should be speaking English.”
A customer at a New York restaurant tried to chew out employees after he heard them speaking Spanish.
Instead, his fellow customers laughed at his rant, especially his threat to report the restaurant to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
A now-viral video posted to Facebook by Edward Suazo shows a very angry white man going ballistic when he overheard workers at Fresh Kitchen, a midtown eatery, speaking Spanish to customers.
In the video, the man tells an employee, “Your staff is speaking Spanish to customers when they should be speaking English… This is America.”
The employee attempted to explain that his co-workers were simply interacting with other customers.
That hardly satisfied the man, who can be seen pointing wildly around the room at everyone he said he overheard speaking Spanish.
After other customers laugh at his antics and taunt him, with one telling him he’s “fucked up,” the angry man becomes even angrier.
“My guess is, they’re not documented, so my next call is to ICE to have each one of [them] kicked out of my country,” he said. “They have the balls to come here and live off of my money I pay for their welfare, I pay for their ability to be here. The least they could do, the least they could do is speak English.”
In his Facebook post, Suazo said the video was taken by his wife and her best friend as they ordered lunch at the restaurant.
He added:
“I wish I was there because clearly this peace of shit need someone to punch him in his mouth !!
“What a big man talking down to couple of women and a helpless employee. I wish someone tells me I can’t speak in my native language ! First of all they wasn’t talking to you !! Asshole !
“My country !! Haha ?
“I love the way people are just throwing that world around lately !!
“If you love this country this much ! Why don’t you put on uniform and protect it !!”
If he was so offended because the waiter was speak in Spanish only because of a native person spoke to him in Spanish, why don’t he start waitering and he won’t have that issue and family stop getting Spanish nannies and stop getting Spanish people to farm and ………
You know where I’m getting !!”
The restaurant’s manager told The New York Daily News the ranting customer didn’t realize the woman speaking Spanish with his employee was a regular.
“They were speaking Spanish because they are friends,” the manager said. “He got mad, waiting in line for his food. He stormed out.”
The manager said the man’s rant infuriated him, but he refused to return the rancor.
“He’s a customer, so I had to stay professional and ask him to leave,” the manager said. “That’s what I did.”
As of Wednesday afternoon, Suazo’s video has been viewed more than 1.3 million times.
The ranting man was quickly identified as lawyer Aaron Schlossberg thanks to the magic of internet crowdsourcing, according to black rights activist Shaun King:
Shaun King✔@ShaunKingDear Midtown Manhattan Attorney Aaron M Schlossberg,
7 of your college classmates from @JohnsHopkins & @GWtweets contacted me and said this is you & they aren’t surprised.
I am asking the New York Bar Association (@nysba) to also look into your bigoted hate here & across NYC. https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/996725747711541249 …
Schlossberg seems to be an equal opportunity offender based on a video from last year that showed him yelling, “You are not a Jew” at Jewish people supporting Palestinian rights, according to Fast Company.
jordan✔@JordanUhlThe asshole lawyer caught on video mad about people speaking Spanish in NYC that @ShaunKing is calling out?@Ike_Saul caught him on video yelling “You are not a Jew” to Jewish people last year.
