Newman was initially placed on administrative leave and removed from her classroom stemming from the Zoom that took place on Jan. SF Gate reported that Newman referred to Stokes and her son by using “racist slurs,” though they’re not included in the audio from the Zoom that has been published on YouTube. “They’re Black, he’s Black.”Īfter calling Stokes’ son a liar who resorts to making excuses, Newman offered her own racist explanation: “This is what Black people do.” “Two kinds of pieces of shit,” she continued. “I mean these parents, that’s what kind of piece of shit they are.” “She’s answered her phone for the first time the entire year,” the teacher told her husband.
Nyc teacher caught on zoom video skin#
Newman claimed to her husband that Stokes had been avoiding her and only returned a missed call from the teacher by mistake - an action Newman ultimately equated with the mother’s skin color. When the student’s mother heard Newman’s comments, she began recording the teacher’s words. That fact was unbeknownst to Newman, who immediately complained about the student and his mother to her husband. SF Gate reported that Kimberly Newman, a white, now-former science teacher at Desert Willow Fine Arts, Science and Technology Magnet Academy in Palmdale, was exposed for the anti-Black racist that her words suggest she probably has been for quite a while.Īfter the Zoom session between Newman, the 12-year-old student and his mother - Katura Stokes - ended, neither party officially ended the call.
