Taylor and Ring Law Firm
The mother of a 12-year-old student whose teacher went on a racist rant on Zoom against her and her son is now filing a lawsuit.
Katura Stokes was on a Zoom call with her teacher from Desert Willow Fine Arts, Science and Technology Management Academy in Palmdale, CA, when the call ended.
Unbeknownst to the teacher, the mother was still listening when the teacher, Kimberly Newman, launched into a half-hour-long, despicable tirade about Black families, saying the student was lying and then zeroing in on the mom, “Since you’ve taught him to make excuses that nothing is his fault. This is what Black people do.”
But, she wasn’t done … “I mean these parents, that’s what kind of piece of s*** they are … Black. He’s Black. They’re a Black family.”
The teacher has resigned and now the mom has filed a lawsuit against the Palmdale School District.
