Employees who did not want to be identified told FOX 11 the picture of the women and the noose and a separate picture showing the noose hanging up in an office were emailed to all staff by Summerwind Elementary School's principal, Linda Brandts. There was nothing written in the email.

"We want her gone from this school and that's just it. We want her out of here. I do personally! I do," Harper said. "Because I know what she about. The pictures prove it, that's what she about and that's what she allow to go on. So she need to go."


Breyon Clemmons said racism was a prevalent problem at the school. She had problems with teachers singling Black and Hispanic kids out while her daughter was a student there and she said she was currently dealing with problem teachers interacting with her younger daughter.

"I've requested that my kid be taken out of one classroom because that teacher, in particular, has shown prejudice discrimination against my kid and when I requested the black teacher I got grief for that," Clemmons said.

Yikes. That's probably not the perspective they want in someone running for superintendent.

At least not on the surface.

The laughing while pointing to it gets me. "HAHAHA, look at the noose, Linda!" Oh, I see it alright.

I can't understand why their reaction to posing with a noose (which is a disturbing thing to do in the first place) is to laugh about it... Like, what even goes through someone's mind at that point?

Why would you pose with a noose?
Is everyone fucking mental nowadays?

It's okay, guys, they're not laughing at racism, they're laughing at suicide! Er, wait, no, not suicide! Capital punishment! Yeah, that's it!

Palmdale is a shit area near Lancaster, which is a basically just a prison town. Also home to lots of low income homes.

Not to judge the non-offending residents, but this is where you'd expect to see this shit happening.

The whites pictured here somehow believe they're above the minorities, no doubt. There are words for people like them.

You should go and look at pictures of lynchings and look at the expressions on the faces of everyone in the picture. You'll see a lot of similarity.

I don't understand. I usually can put myself in others' shoes, but even assuming I were a really diehard racist, hanging out with my racist group, I can't fathom the mental process that says "let's take a picture with a noose and send it out to all our co-workers".

Like, what?

In our post-racial, all lives matter society where we are all one race: the human race and no one sees color, nooses are simply a fancy knot and they are just showing how proud they are that they learned to tie it! No need to be so sensitive all you liberal snowflakes!!!

You do know some countries still use a noose for their death sentences. I need context for this. If we're going to call racism on a noose without context, then I want to call racism on anyone holding a syringe as well. Just saying... I'm not even white, I'm a well hung brother na'm sayin?

I just... why?

Like, I'm a white dude, most of my friends are white, and none of us would ever stand for that kind of shit. What the fuck is wrong with some white people, I don't get it. Like I'd say it's because we're Canadian but our country still has issues with racism so fuck if I know.

I don't actually need a reason because whatever they come up with will be bullshit, but I'm curious to know what they actually came up with as a reason.

It's like when your teacher knows you didn't do the homework but calls on you anyway to see what you do.

This.

Also, why are poor white people so racist?

Also, I've often pondered the source of all the racism from wealthy whites.

Why are around half of all white women so willing to forfeit their rights and autonomy? We could go on and on, I'm sure. There's definitely something substantial to be said about the failings of the US education system.

What context could possibly excuse this shit? In America in the year Two fucking Thousand Nineteen?

I don't even get what I'm supposed to be looking at.

"Hey, John! Me and the girls found this noose in the classroom! Ain't that just the darndest? :D"
