Georgia Teacher Apologizes After Victim Blaming Breonna Taylor
Residents are calling for the firing of a Georgia teacher who told students that Breonna Taylor shouldn’t have been hanging out with bad people. In the video you can hear the kids correcting her on the details. “I’m sorry she was killed,” the teacher said. “But if you hang out with people who are criminals and they shoot at a cop you are likely to get caught in a crossfire. I’m truly sorry, it’s sad, but she put herself in that position by hanging out with somebody she shouldn’t have been with.”
She later apologized for being ignorant about the details of the case.
Remember kids, you can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your cops.
