California math teacher: How to piss off Native Americans

Is there a purpose of ...whatever this is?

Reminds of every asylum scene in every movie that had such a scene.

This is clinical. It needs treatment.

GLP moderators: How to pander to racists by pinning this bs

Poor kids. I wonder how many she's sleeping with.

Homeschool.

How many parents will immediately pull their children out from this school?

I noticed they clipped out the part of the lesson that covered exactly what she was attempting to have them remember.

One thing that memory courses teach is that the more bizarre and humorous an image that you can come up with, the more likely that you'll remember it.

In the background, on the screen, I noticed triangles, so this is probably attempting to get them to remember some Trig formula or another.

You also notice that every student is paying attention, and even the one on their phone is watching her.

I see a young teacher that's going the extra mile to attempt to teach something, but was too young and/or sheltered to realize the implications of using something that could be considered a racial slur.

Bet those kids will remember the formula or whatever she was trying to teach, though.

Yikes.

One side's angry because she's insulting Native Americans.

The other side's angry and mocking her because she looks stupid during the lesson.

I really don't have a 'people', that can see that she's going out of her way for very little money because she's still young and stupidly hopeful that she can make a difference?

No one?

It’s the mnemonic phrase for sine, cosine & tangent but could she be more offensive? (Sohcahtoa)

FFS she's using a stereotype to help the kids remember a set of formulas that might be difficult for many of them.

If she found some way to tie "SoCahToa" to an overweight, 50 something year old white male, nobody would say a damn thing. Or maybe a prn reference would be better, i.e. Suck A Toe Ah. Then everyone would be just fine.

Indians weren't even "Native Americans" plenty of evidence out there that ancestors of whites were in American before the Indians.

The Indians are just blood thirsty savages that killed them all. The whites just came back and gave them some justice.
