HOUSTON - Michael Garza's parents say they weren't sure who to believe, their 8-year-old son or his reading teacher Savonya Depland Haston.
-snip-
After Michael calls the reading teacher "ma'am," Haston is heard on the tape replying "I'm not your ma'am. If I owned you, and you were my slave, I would beat you down."

On the tape, you hear her tell the class of 7 and 8-year-olds she could have charges filed against them and their parents for lying and violating her civil rights.
"When you lie on me, I have the right to an attorney, I have the right to file charges against you and your parents. I have the right to take you straight up to the top of the Grand Jury and the federal government and file charges against your parents and garnish whatever wages are in your houses; that's the law," the reading teacher is heard on the tape telling the classroom of second graders.
So what did the Houston Independent School District decide to do about Mrs.Haston?
ah, why wait till she tries it AGAIN? get this on O’Reilly or Beck and get her FIRED now.
Boxer was so wrong. And So disrespectful. Which is the epitome of bad manners. To make someone else feel uncomfortable.
It has not changed. I refuse to believe it has.
I had a 6th grade teacher who put those kind of kids into what he called the "bluebird row".
He threatened the rest of the class that he'd put us in the "bluebird row" if we didn't toe the line.
He also had a HUGE sneaker he used to give swats to those who misbehaved.
can’t quite tell what race she is....
And right you are. It’s depressing that we (our children, actually) must deal with prejudice, mean-spiritness, stupidity, AND ignorance all rolled into one while getting an “education”.
I saw a video the other day of a teacher (college level-Berkeley)lecturing on why it was so easy for the whites to cruise over to Africa and capture slaves. A student asked, “How many of the Africans were enslaved by other tribes and sold to the slave traders? The teacher replied, “Good question! I have no idea.”
Having said all that, I do want to point out there are many fine, dedicated teachers - even in the public schools. I currently have no complaints about the education my three grandsons are getting in public schools in North Texas surburban schools— so far, at least.
you should be respectful to any woman, if she is “higher caste” or not. M’am is a perfectly acceptable title to most of us.
Reassigning a teacher who is doing this sort of emotional damage, and sounds stupid as well, is not that much different from the Priests who were shuffled off to elsewhere. Abuse is abuse and mental and emotional abuse is sometimes more insidious. The district is putting itself at risk for a very large lawsuit because the next time she abuses there is no way they can claim not to know. Children deserve better. We are supposed to protect them.
a video camera should record every class. Any parent should have the right to view the video.
And it should be public record for ALL taxpayers to see. Webcams cost almost nothing, and ever class should be broadcast live. Can you imagine how this might shut down the liberal activism and indoctrination in the classroom, and expose the idiots and get them fired?
“overachiever” Of course. Liberals hate success and promote failure.
"The Garzas are upset that the district is allowing Haston to keep teaching elementary age children"
. What I want to know is why is she being allowed to teach ANYWHERE TO ANYONE??????
nowdays, you never can tell.
is that some kind of Goddess Gaia worship day at the school?
is that some kind of Goddess Gaia worship day at the school?...nah, probably MAY DAY...

Let me guess.....they made her TEACHER of the YEAR!
So....that’s what a SAVONYA loooks like! Whata PATHETIC HUMAN saying that to kids! FIRE HER ASS and then SUE her for damages to those little kids.
It is no longer possible to surprise me regarding how debased government teachers in government schools have become.
Working as intended.
