OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. — An Osceola County teacher has been removed from the classroom while the school district investigates a race-related incident that played out during an online class.
Video from the class shows Poinciana High School social studies teacher Tracey Brown asserting a right to “dislike black people” because, she says, she was attacked by a gang on a train in Atlanta when she was a teen.
The district says the video was submitted to them through their “Lets Talk” platform, created earlier this year for students and parents to submit questions about anything school-related during the pandemic.
The district says they started investigating immediately to figure out exactly what happened. Another clip circulating on social media shows Ms. Brown talking about the Black Lives Matter movement.
You are implying that black lives matter more than anyone else,” Brown says in the second video.
The school district says they have video from the entire class period.
Brown will be reassigned to an area with no children during the investigation.
