Karen Teaching Native American Spirit Animals: Indigenous student speaks...

A TikTok video has surfaced of a non-native professor teaching inaccurate information about indigenous cultures and being called out for it by a native student. If you want to stay up to date on this developing story, please hit that subscribe button below.

The course is called “Native Peoples of The Americas” at Westchester Community College. The assignment was called the “Spirit Animal Quiz”. The teacher is Rosemary Diaz and many think she should not be allowed to teach any courses about Indigenous and First Nations people.

What I find most disturbing is the teacher using her position of power to imply Native Americans are dumb and too outspoken, in a professional setting no less.

Karen Teaching Native American Spirit Animals: Indigenous student speaks outThe teacher became immediately defensive. The perfect response would have involved thanking her and accepting the info to recalibrate her lessons for the future. The best would have been to invite the student to continue to give her feedback. Which means, Diaz says she’s been teaching for “20 years”, which means she’s been teaching Native American cultures wrong for that long!

The teacher was trying to talk about Natives like they’re a monolith. Being an Indigenous student and constantly having to explain and correct other students let alone professors must be incredibly exhausting and can be super intimidating, so a big shoutout to them for speaking up.

What do you think about a Native American student correct their teacher about spirit animals and then being immediately shut down because she says indigenous people are “talk” too much? Sound off in the comments below and don’t forget to subscribe.

The flag is displayed inside her house, in what is literally a bedroom.

Johnny Depp is getting support from what some might think is an unlikely group, but maybe not -- an org protecting women and children. The group, Mission NGO, is Italian-based, and fronted by former Miss Italy Valeria Altobelli. She expressed "compassion" for Johnny in the wake of his trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. Altobelli said, "In deep respect of the victims of domestic s that we have to affirm for intellectual honesty are, generally, WOMEN, we feel to express, as women, as mothers, as free thinkers, our compassion for Johnny Depp in this bad page of his personal history." NGO is not alone ... public sentiment seems to be clearly on Johnny's side, which by clearly means lots of people -- maybe most -- don't believe Amber's claims of   at the hands of Johnny. As we reported, the only uncontested incident of   was at the hands of Amber -- she admitted it on an audiotape that the jury heard. Testimony is expected to wrap next week, and it's likely ...

NEW FOOTAGE! Amber Heard CAUGHT in WORST LIE YET | Johnny Depp Trial

Image
Amber in a never-before-seen deposition from 2016, was caught in an obvious lie to cover her own tracks, or should, I say, skids? Please don’t forget to subscribe.   Here she is pretending that her Teacup Yorkies are larger than they actually are because she knew at this point the size of the grumpy left on the bed could never come from such a tiny toy dog.   She described her dog as “Yorkies” to make them seem like the 7 pound larger breed, but they were teacup Yorkies, which are notably smaller weighing in at 2 to 4 pounds.   Notice how the size of her dogs kept getting bigger as she described them, cause she knew she was caught in a lie. She eventually landed on the idea that her dogs were the size of bricks, similar to a 90s television. She essentially described a pouf ottoman, which prompted numerous memes.   After the incident, she went on a trip to a Coachella where she’s seen having a blast after apparently just been brutalized by Johnny. Johnny’s personal se...
