“Trying to silence people, shame people, and bully people so they can’t be heard is unacceptable. .. and the ppl who want to silence parents should be ashamed of themselves.” Spoke like a true leader. TY @MaudMaron@placenyc_org
“Let the student speak” I said.
This woman blocks the podium and refuses to move out of the way so the 6th gr student can have her voice heard. This is not what democracy is about..this is the cancel culture.
This woman harassed the student earlier, telling her to not speak. When that didn’t work, she decided to block her from getting heard.
The girl was told to “go back to her country” as she was leaving the event. They want to intimidate this 11 yo to never speak up for herself and her community again.
Here is the woman in this group photo. So if a student doesn’t sing their tune, they harass and intimidate them to silence. These are adults, maybe parents. Sad world we live in.

“...White supremacy! How!? ... Asian students are double the population of white students, how is that white supremacy? Simple, Asians are white-adjacent.” asian-dawn.com/2020/10/26/bla…
Many Asians are immigrants, finding our way in a new country with no social capital. We simply ask for equal opportunity. Anti-Asian racism has intensified in education. Merit-based admissions have given Asian students the chance to earn spots at these top schools. 1/
The high number of Asian students at these public HS has become unacceptable. Something “must” be wrong if outcomes don’t mirror the population. “Asian immigrant supremacy”? — no, we are now called white-adjacent so that the claim of white supremacy can still be touted. 2/
