California teacher threatens to kill protester in front of little daughter who sobs 'I'm scared' in viral video part 2

By -

The video was posted by Baze on Twitter and soon went viral, gaining over 2.7 million views and 15,300 shares. Maxwell was identified by some of the Twitter users, who provided the email address to her school's principal. The Bakersfield City School District has since started an investigation against her. On June 10, the Bakersfield City School District Superintendent Doc Ervin, released the following statement:
"The Bakersfield City School District strives to be a model of inclusion and equity for our students, staff, families and community members. The District is aware of the incident that occurred on June 5, 2020 involving an employee. We do not condone nor endorse the action and behavior captured on the video. The District is currently conducting an investigation into the incident. As this is a confidential personnel matter, we are unable to comment any further."

While apologizing for her actions through her lawyer, Maxwell said that she panicked after hearing protesters chanting obscenities near her home and was afraid for the safety of her autistic son and elderly mother whom she cares for. "I am humiliated by my actions. I called the police and was told there was nothing they could do. I went out to ask the protesters to move the protest away from my home. This was not shown on the video that was posted," Maxwell said. She also regretted the fact that she might now be perceived as racist despite 12 years of teaching students of color.
Baze said that she was not ready to accept Maxwell's apology. "As much as I would like to accept an apology, I do not see this as a legitimate apology. This is a press release from a lawyer that Ms. Maxwell has secured, full of excuses for Ms. Maxwell’s behavior. The lawyer sent the statement to every news station, but at no point in the statement was an apology directed at me or my daughter. This statement was issued days after the altercation, and only after her place of employment asked to speak with me and the news shared the video," she said, as reported by Bakersfield Now.

Starbucks bans employees from wearing anything in support of Black Lives Matter An internal memo sent to Starbucks employees last week specifically warned staffers against wearing accessories or clothes bearing messages in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. The memo, obtained by BuzzFeed News, reminds staffers that such messages are prohibited under the company's policy against accessories that "advocated a political, religious or personal issue." Numerous employees told the news outlet, however, that the company regularly allows or even encourages employees to wear pins in support of LGBTQ equality, especially during Pride Month every June. "Starbucks LGBTQ+ partners wear LGBTQ+ pins and shirts, that also could incite and create violent experiences amongst partners and customers," one black transgender employee of the coffee chain told BuzzFeed. “We have partners who experienced harassment and transphobia/homophobia for wearing t...

Tucker Carlson compares Seattle protesters to conquistadors: 'They planted a flag and they stole' that land part 2

“That’s America tonight, totally cool,” Carlson doubled-down on Wednesday on BLM-led or inspired protests, saying that “racist lunatics with semiautomatic weapons” want a new “segregation” in the county. This comes on the same day that Carlson made an exit of his own and left the Daily Caller. After co-founding the conservative digital outlet a decade ago, Carlson had his one-third stake bought out in recent days, supposedly to free him to focus on his four-year-old FNC show Having said that, the fiscal year ends June 30, so we have no overall data yet on how Carlson’s show has or has not be hit by any advertisers exiting. However, beyond the boardroom politics, if past advertiser boycotts of Carlson and other FNC shows are an indication and and past record bottom lines for FNC in 2018 and 2019 are taken into account, we may be looking at an impact of nickels and dimes at most when all is said and done. Still, in a yet another monologue tonight, one-time COVID-19-warnin...
