Punishment could be coming for a Florida teacher accused of calling elementary school students "rats" that could "infest the class" and saying "that’s why their race is either dead or in jail."

The teacher at Carter G. Woodson Elementary School allegedly made the remarks in May, as a group of children attempted to re-enter her classroom.

Officials found enough evidence to substantiate further action, the district said this week.

WJAX looked on the school district's website and found the progressive discipline policy in the collective bargaining agreement. It listed possible punishments, including verbal reprimand, written reprimand, suspension without pay and termination.

Carter G. Woodson parent Tiera Ross outlined Cataldo’s alleged comments back in May.

“They're only going to amount to be a bunch of ratchet Walmart workers, and also saying that that's why their race is either dead or in jail,” Ross said.

WJAX attempted to get Cataldo’s side of the story Friday, but she declined to comment.

Ross still wants Cataldo fired.

at Carter G. Woodson elementary, no less.

bye, felicia.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Should've been fired already.

 

[ShyMel]

Should've been fired already.

Agreed, but racism doesn't always get punished unfortunately.

The teacher can get fucked then. That it happens at an elementary school is ridiculous.

Out of a cannon.

”They're only going to amount to be a bunch of ratchet Walmart workers, and also saying that that's why their race is either dead or in jail," Ross said.

I wonder where her next paycheck is coming from.

Dumbass racist in Jacksonville? I'm shocked

Spoiler

Not shocked

She has no business being around kids.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Not going to say what I wanted to after clicking the link. But I'm happy she's getting fired. Hopefully this ruins her chances of ever teaching again and no school hires her. But I know she'll land another job fairly soon at some nice evangelical elementary school or whatever.

I await the facebook post apology that everyone will lap up.

I wonder how many black kids she failed just because she could

Nothing pisses off prejudice people more than being proven wrong.

Firing aND a pop to the face would be okay for me.

That is the true damage

 

[Nydius]

Agreed but you'd be surprised how difficult it is to outright fire a teacher. Teaching contracts and teacher unions practically guarantee lengthy arbitration processes except in the most egregious of cases. Many school systems find loopholes like putting teachers on administrative leave until the end of the year when the contract term ends, then opt to not pick up the teacher's contract again.

 

[PingPongvonLaserstein]

Of fucking course it's Jacksonville.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

She needs to be blacklisted from ever teaching again.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

No sympathy for this Cataldo cunt. Don't use that word much, but between this thread and the one with the Big Bear AirBnB cunt, that word is appropriately used in describing those two women.

Hope she DOES get fired, then she could be the ratchet-ass workin' at Walmart.

B-but guys! Teaching is hard, mmk?

Let's try to imagine the incredible pressure and stress this teacher must have been under that simply forced her to say these things that previously held no trace in her heart!

 

[iKhameleon]

Termination is the only option to begin with. Knowing how she feels about black children, how can you honestly expect her to grade black students fairly? What black parent would take the chance and allow their child into her class? She should be blacklisted and kept far away from having any kind of influence on any child's future.

Are you trying to say teaching isn't hard or that this is the excuse her defenders will try to use? Teaching is fucking hard btw.

 

[itwasTuesday]

ugh, why even become a "teacher."

I bet she got off on those parent teacher conferences.

 

[Stinkles]

I would just point out that a "ratchet wal mart worker" aside from being an imaginary construct is still more valuable to society than a racist teacher too stupid to keep her moronically profane thoughts to herself.

Whoosh

She's a racist asshole, but teaching is hard bruh.

edit: A got the joke late.

Terrible. Florida is still the dirty south afaic esp the parts that border the Georgia/Alabama borders.

Teaching IS hard and frustrating, but I can't imagine anyone would use that to justify racism, so I have no idea what your post is trying to imply other than you think teachers don't have incredible pressure and stress

It's been done before, and on this very forum.

I believe he is mocking the police/Mel Gibson defense of hard or dangerous work making people blurt out things they definitely weren't already thinking.

Besides the fact that we had a thread on a racist teacher just last year where a poster derailed the thread doing just that, stress is often the go-to defense in these "teacher is a racist" stories.

I mean, have you followed these?

 

[Captin Quacker]

how odd, most people don't go into racist rants when stressed out

 

[KuroNeeko]

Man, this is so infuriating.
That she had unfettered access to spew that garbage at a class of impressionable minds.

Fire her and take away her license. She'd be lucky to get a job at Wal-Mart.

 

[Strike]

She needs to have her license taken away.
