She must've done something really onerous. In this day and age if you fire a female you better have very good cause. If you fire a black person you'd better have very, very good cause. If you fire a black female you''d better have your seatbelt fastened. If the schoolboard wants to play it safe they should only fire white, Christian males.
As a former teacher myself and as someone who seen this happen in person, I can promise you believe NOTHING from the superintendent or the school board. They literally make things up just to fire you.
There are teachers who are inappropriate with their students and they're still employed. They fire this lady for caring too much, the enemy will do anything to miseducate our children, even if it means removing our own to do it.
I totally agree. My daughter has suffered mistreatment from her teacher. I held a meeting and she was outright disrespectful.. exactly the way my daughter described her. She doesn’t care for black people… it’s very obvious. I sent and email to school executives. I’m still awaiting their replies
@@Browneyezish Good luck sweetheart their hatred is stirring against the negroid people. They will find an excuse to not fire your daughter teacher. Stay tuned.
Sounds like she is being persecuted for righteousness’ sake: Matthew 5:11-12 (KJV) 11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
My son went there for two years. She was sweet, understanding, and respectful. I still have our emails communicating about my son and she helped me in an extreme way! If she needs me to vouch for her I can💗💗. I don't know why people attack good hearted people. This sounds very corrupt, something ain't right.

That’s why they wanted her out the school was doing too well under her they would much rather close the school and sell the van property for profit they don’t care about the kids
You're absolutely correct our school was the only school that was certified as an IB school, Certification is very difficult to achieve, it takes years of going through a process for certification.
International Baccalaureate is a program similar to AP that provides accreditation recognized to varying degrees by colleges. It's not a "status." Just means that school can offer the program.
@@dawa8151 I am well informed of what the International Baccalaureate is and is not. I've taught the PYP, Primary Years Programmer for 6 years. I was speaking in laymen's terms for the general viewer who may not be well versed on the subject.
They want them drowning in student loan debt! College teaches you pretty much nothing! There are some professors, few and far between that challenge you to critically think! The rest of the professors, just need a job!!!
You are missing the point. The issue is the sabotage of this Black principal and her students to not go to college or have a good profession in the trades. They want to get rid of her, put a bad principal in and eventually close the school so the property can be sold. Either way, they want a school to prison pipeline and it's hard to do that with a great Black principal.
@@sistahb5159 I'm not missing the point. One of the gentlemen said there wasn't enough students graduating and going to college. So I said what I said. It's a sad thing all around and I hope she wins her case if she decides to sue them.
Bingo! That's what is missing from middle and high school. They should bring back trades for the young male students so they can learn trades at an early age but they took out those programs by design on purpose its sad. I tried college but it wasn't for me and I got a trade that brings in great income for me and my family
I agree, I went to Jack Yates in the early 70's, I took Commercial Art, they had Metal Shop, Auto Mechanics, Dress Making, etc. Some of the techniques I learned from Mr. Julius Putney, I use today in my Poster Art.
@@jamesgibson3716 now I don't know much about this situation. Only been living in the Houston area for 8 yrs but those guys where passionate about this principal.
She stood up the Superintendent and he took the low road. Disgraceful! I had to go toe to toe with the Belton Superintendent. These people have everyone in the back pockets, to include lawyers throughout the surrounding area. My son was inside of a locked bathroom stall at school when someone took a trashcan and assaulted him in the boys bathroom. Mind you my son has a history of focal point seizures. Out of all the lawyers I called to represent us, only one said he could assist. All of the rest said there was a conflict of interest. Sickening!
@briangallagher787 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 SAY IT LOUDER, YOUR CHEST THIS TIME. We are sending our kids to the hands of demon worshippers. That principal took the fml probably due to severe harassment and plotting. They also send out demons from their altars and all of them take turns entering into your dreams to manipulate you after or during their rituals. They pretend to teach kids not to be in gangs and these people are gangs and gangstalkers. At least people know the truth, this is hard to prove especially if they have a gang of people against 1, they will even get kids too. That's why there is a God in heaven who will judge all this at the end, if not here..unless true repentance, but these people are so sold out to the dark arts who knows if they will repent and we hand them our children and wonder why some come out different from home morals, but I can't deny their are some parents involved also. Pray for your children going to any schools not your home including private, these ppl are involved in a massive scheme for the devil. I am not lying or nuts...I truly know what I'm talking about. I think this person that said this comment knows also. They take out the good teachers etc. by any means necessary who won't bow and wear their hoodies and the ones who want out are blackmailed and turned to the cops because somehow they have sex with kids, not sure if that's part of being initiated. I've learned so much watching these ppl. School shootings aren't random either, it's a lot everyone. Phew!
As a former IB student k-8 that program is HARD!!! And for her to obtain that program is commendable! Also college is NOT for everyone! You have ppl like me with Master’s degrees that make less than ppl with trades. I hope this lady can sue!
I have 2 Master's degrees. Yes, you make less than the people in the trades. Carpenters, plumbers, electricians, painters, etc. make a hugh amount of money. I've hired them and I know what I have given them. Then they move on to the next job.
As someone who works in education,, I’m thoroughly convinced that our public school system is encouraging, if not designed to, make the general population unable to think for themselves and rely on the media and government. It’s a disgrace, and I hope parents are teaching their kids about the world
Absolutely. They literally prepare kids for the workforce by making them wake up at 5-6am and stay in the school from 3-4pm just like a job. They also don't teach students how to be financially responsible though having a credit card is promoted as being important, like make it make sense? Everything is designed for the government and businesses to make money. Again everything from school, (including college because of unnecessary debt) the credit system, the roads, traffic laws and lights. The ROAD is a huge one a lot of us miss as money grab. For example it is very dangerous for cars on opposite sides of the road to be allowed to turn left and the other straight, roundabouts, traffic can continue on the side of you, WHILE you're allowed to turn left into a lane. These traffic laws and lights are designed to increase accidents which would result in more money for the city, government, and businesses. EVERYTHING is designed to get more money for them. EVERYTHING.
What stood out to me was, “she’s received award after award” “….she’s not fit to lead JY?H” Those two things don’t mesh, so I’m extremely curious to hear exactly why she was fired. I’m going to follow this story.
If she was being threatened with termination while on leave under FMLA, she could have grounds for a lawsuit. Ideally, she should have filed a complaint with the state / federal gov't at the time.
Maybe that was the case, she probably made a anonymous complaint to someone and unbeknownst her name started floating around. Once its on paper in regards to your name and date, everybody’s getting ahold of it.
I know that principle…She used to be in Westbury High School as one of the staff and help me so much during those school years when I was a student…I owe her so much to get me through high school including providing assistance to my classes and now seeing her being fired right now just literally brought such outrage towards those school board and the superintendent firing the best person who actually does her job as principal that help next generation of students…😢
I went to Westbury High School aswell she was my dean in 2006 and helped me aswell with my classes I had a lil crush on her back then lol I graduated 09
I'm in Dallas, but went to TSU. That school is integral to that community. If this principal was getting awards and making positive progress with no scandal, THEN you have to start looking at the bureaucracy that made this happen and find out what their REAL AGENDA is and put a stop to it. We cannot afford to have the education system watered down any more than it already is for these children. If your in this city, let this be the one you don't let them have. Stand up, go to that school board and demand accountability. Don't give in cause something is in play here and should be exposed. Good or bad.
@ Michael Jones: you show a rare insight and understanding of BUREAUCRACY, of what's "behind the curtain"! Yes, and must " find out what their REAL AGENDA is ", and always be aware of the underhanded methods that the bureaucracy WILL use to further their agenda.
And look at the original deed to the school and or it property. It may just be some type of clauses, stating for school only, land is for school only, if so, they can't destroy this school. That's what they tried to do to my elementary school in good ole TX; it was a Black school, in a small town south of Houston.....🤭🙏🏼🖤❤️
Every time there’s a POC that actually helps and contributes to our children the school system does this or they’re ostracized it’s a sad truth but it’s probably a blessing for her ❤ I’ve learned in life to thank God in everything
That's how it was at my HS we're had POC something had happen to him turn to find out years later after I've had graduated , he's was amazing one of the best principle we're had I'll think the teacher's was the issue they didn't like how he's daughter would get away with things. turn to find out he's wasn't actual our real principle we're didn't had a real principle until 2 years after. that principle also been let go.
@@alphaomega1351 If this is true, it is so hard for educated, successful black women to meet someone of their caliber. Meanwhile, black professional athletes are marrying the stripper from the club.
@Speakeasy Negative 👎, but nice try. That is a myth you were told as a child. The reality is men aren't attracted to a woman's educational level and career success. We are attracted to them physically first and foremost. Older women are less attractive and sometimes become desperate because they are in less demand. Please 🙏, don't attempt to debate nature. Accept reality for what it is and your life will be much more fulfilled. 😶
@@alphaomega1351 BINGO!!! thank you for proving my point. Men looking at a woman's physical qualities first, thinking with their d**ck and not their brain is what gets black me caught up in bad life situations.
Public school teacher turned homeschool mama here- let me tell you, this VERY thing happens ALL THE TIME in my region with the sole purpose of sabotaging (*cough* gentrify) minority neighborhoods and preventing the thrive of "unlikely" schools. I pray they can save her job and the school. 🙏🏾
I am also a former teacher who turned into a homeschool teacher. I agree with you. Some other district would love her. This is dirty. I had a principal who would stalk teachers outside of work and he is still employed 10 years later
For what I'm hearing, this does seem to be a scheme to discharge this young lady because of her professionalism, and the intelligence she brings to the table. If she were a failure, they would welcome her. This is a disgrace that he (superintendent) and the board would disrupt the progress of the school. She seems to be doing a phenomenal job in the system, but she can't get all 100% at IB level. There's just some you can get them to the water, but you can't make them drink. My hat is off to her. Don't let them get you down and try to destroy you. I understand exactly where you are in this situation... I've been there myself.
Hey can you go more into if she was a failure they would welcome her? I never did understand that. People are more welcoming and accepting of people who haven't reached a certain level?
@@lovelylady7097 it's a number of reasons. Like if you are doing an exceptional job, it shows where "they" (the haters) are lacking. Also, if "they" won't get "credit" for the progress... 🤷🏾♀️ Just keep shining baby!! ✨✨🤗✨✨
it’s okay to say a black woman. she is not a POC. she is a black woman who is a leader in our community and positively leading our young people to a brighter future. huge shout out to these Black men for advocating in every area for this Black woman.
I'm not sure if you are aware of this but the man who had her fired and the man who had something yo do with her being fired were both black. So I could hardly see how this is a race issue. Why not at the minimum give it time and let all the facts come to light before making any heinous accusations against these men. There is no pale skin...nor dark skin...for in me you are all one -Jesus Stop the division
I hate that everything is based on test scores or college acceptance bc each student is different. I just wish they would allow the teachers to teach for the love of learning and allow the kids to develop a love for learning. Plus fund all schools equally. This is the problem throughout this country. Lastly, I understand why so many Black college students choose not to pursue a career in teaching...the money isn't worth it and you are never appreciated nor respected.
In many places and situations, they use a person of Minority race or gender or even a Majority person that they don't like, to build up the institution, company, department or team, then they fire that person and give the position to somebody they like. So that new person gets the credit for the work that was done by the fired person. I bet one of the Superintendent's nice friends is going to get her job and get the credit for doing everything she did to make the school an IB school.
As a teacher who currently teaches at one of the worst schools in my city, I would never put my child in the Public Fool System. I'm homeschooling mine! Strong Administrators like this woman who don't play by the rules that want to keep or put schools like this one in the dunghill, get fired, or forced out in order to be replaced with weak, soft, and malleable Administrators who do whatever Central Office figureheads want. Bad schools means more money from the Federal Government, less local community sayso, a poor and generic education, and it becoming a factory to feed the various industrial complexes that make up our working and political society. This is the root cause of why our society has gone in the dunghill, combined with Social Media, and bad parenting... we are circling the drain, and it cannot be fixed.
AGREED but it can be fixed...and you GAVE the SOLUTION...TAKE YOUR BABIES OUT..and get OUR OWN PRIVATE "CENTERS of LEARNING" ! 😎 LET THE SCHOOLS BE EMPTY...problem is too many parents want the BABY SITTING SERVICES. WE GOT TO GET OUT THAT RAT RACE.
U of H has been trying to buy that land for years. The only reason why they aren’t going to close it is because they just built the new school and Yates has an extremely strong alumni. The district can always use the excuse that enrollment is too low; which it is.
@Reather......well, I'm from Houston, went to Yates & yes they want it because it sits in the middle of prime real estate.....it is a block from UH and 2 blocks or so from the freeway.....smack dab in the middle of $$$$
The people in Texas re-elected a man that allowed them to freeze during the winter when the grid went out, then watched as 19 kids were savagely murdered, no consequences for him at all. So, why would they get rid of the school superintendent who is busy banning books on black history.
I just heard about their bonds. When this guy talked about Police Officer's bonds don't just get them fired. They could go somewhere else to work. Take that Bond shut them down.
I’m in Indianapolis, Indiana watching this news story and I appreciate these Brothers for standing tall for this beloved principle. Perhaps this lying superintendent will be losing his job soon for the disgrace he’s brought to your community.
I'm sure it was a stupid reason..maybe something as simple as a joke. Teachers and principals are fired for no damn reason. School districts have been big bullies especially to staff who are genuinely supportive of kids. They don't give resources yet have ridiculous expectations. All they care about is damn numbers and not the kids. They don't care if the kids are suicidal or falling into drugs or whatever is a happening at home. All they care about is their money and protecting their legal butts (also for money). They want attendance and grades also for money. All this while teachers quit in high numbers. They will power trip their own districts to the ground.
Wow, that's So True!! I'm a retired teacher and what you are saying is True!!! Most School districts are horrible!!! Like you said, honestly they don't care about the students or the parents!!! Also, they will get rid of you right away. Especially if you care. I don't miss it. I miss the students, but not the administrators and most staff. Too much silliness and unnecessary drama. 😑
Btw I was a teacher who was made to resign because one of my senior make students made a joke about "almost dying trying a pole dancing stunt in his sister's garage". We all laughed and I went back to teaching. Of course teens have teenage humor and kids joked about it every now and then. I left because I didn't like the job anyway . But the very disconnected admins who don't know how kids socialize, decided to question the kids after I left and asked if I was flirty or touchy with them..yes over a joke I didn't make. I normalized the reality of teenage humor and didn't punish the child because it was a self deprecating joke not targeted at anyone. Worse is that they didn't let me say goodbye. Some kids and their parents called me to dismiss all the crazy rumors that ensued. It was awful. This, after I was the first support system for one kid at that same school whose friend committed suicide by hanging himself (also make student at the same school) and I had a long discussion about mortality and grieving with him and his other friend who also lost her step dad within the same two months.
I don't live in the area but I share their sentiments about the unjustified firing of a principal, by all accounts, who had an outstanding performance, and a great relationship with parents and students. I appreciate the men for advocating and shining a light on injustice.
The GOAL should be for a student to be functional after high school NOT college bound. College is not for everyone. Computers are taking over everyone job. Teach students a TRADE like electrician, plumber, baber, hairstylist, chef, event planner, mechanic.
That's great but that's not what this is about. Sounds this Black principal is helping young Black people go to college and move into work in the trade professions and be successful. They do not want that all around.
When a principal like Yates develops plans and processes that gets things done right. You know somebody gonna be coming after someone like her. Therefore is it always best to make plans to continue those same examples and process just incase that person does get removed. And create a plan to detect the methods and actions used against people like her. Be prepared at all cost always. Stay focused. This is just an opinion.
Ohhhhh how this is experienced more than we know!! When there is a strong black woman who does not crumble like those they have bullied before her, egos are bruised and “HOW DARE SHE NOT BOW DOWN!”, “WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?!?!”. Instead of being open minded to new concepts and techniques to guiding children so that they can thrive. This is nothing to do with kids learning. It’s about a bully coming across the wrong one who isn’t afraid of you! Who stands up for herself, her profession and the children she graciously made a CHOICE to educate. This behavior takes place in many professions and it’s pitiful. I’m happy to see her community standing up for her and letting everyone know that they’ve screwed up royally and the community sees it! It would be awesome if she started her own school!! RESPECT!🫶🏾🙏🏾👍🏾🤎
@@amorrbaby8354 idk how to tag him in this story. He's pretty active as an alumni though he was just honored there. It's why I know the school but nevertheless 🤷🏽♀️
These 2 men understand what is happening right now! This is another attempt to devalue the public education system. I love how they are not holding anything back about how they feel about the superintendent. I don't even know why schools systems have these clowns to oversee schools when a lot of them have little to no experience on how to manage a school system
Does the School get commission for sending students to college? I would think her responsibility is that the students graduate from the School she's running.
I love the clear cut explanation from the guy in the middle. It's an oft told story of administrators versus those on the front lines in the field of education.
Been here…. and it baffles me how this continues to happen. May she not allow this to dampen her spirits towards these kiddos and education. I salute her for ALL she did and will do for His Name sake. May God continue to Bless her.
I thought the purpose of high school was to prepare you to graduate high school. Whether or not high school students are college bound should be left up to students and parents. What's wrong with trade school or the service (Army, Airforce, Marines, Navy)?
Excellent point. There is NOTING wrong with trade schools, and frankly, these days I'd advocate for it. There is a big shortage of trades people and they have the capacity to make a VERY good living, and in a lot of cases more than many people with even Masters degrees.
As someone who went to college and also joined the military, it isn’t for everyone either. No the purpose of high school is to give you the basics and fundamentals skills of education to be able to critically think. Not to just simply graduate. There is absolutely nothing wrong with preparing students to be prepared for college should they choose to go. FYI, it’s better to go to college because when you do and have a degree 📜 you automatically start off at a higher rank that just going straight into the military after hight school. Stop ✋🏾 trying to force people to go into the military to be controlled and used by a system. PS, I’m a 21 years of service veteran who knows what I’m talking about.
1.The plan is the ones who go to prison are free labor and government pays to keep them there and they are a product! Make money on commissary and them being slaves work for free! 2. The want as many as they can shove on to college yo yo rack up huge debt with interest, to be a debt slave and they have to constantly work themselves to death!!!!
@La'Jon Elliott I’m a military veteran also! I agree with most of your comment. I went to community college for one year before I joined the military. The having a degree before joining the military does not really matter unless you are going to make a career out of the military. I did 6 years and got our when I was 26. Now I’m 30 and 100% P&T and don’t have to work another day of my life unless I want to! Not many people can say they are retired at 30 with full benefits. I did get my associates degree using my G.I. Bill but I really don’t need it because I’m retired!
Taking the very leadership that the children need that's all that ever happens it's never for the benefit of the school it's always for the benefit of something political sad that woman needs her job back in those children need her in place.
Exactly! It's all by design; these schools are stripped of resources and set up to fail. She's being used as a scapegoat. It's the oldest trick in the book.
This property is in the middle of prime real estate.....they've been after Yates for year.....it's a block from UH and 2 blocks from the freeway......this one is going to be ongoing......
That is what this is about. Reminds me of the White moving in the neighborhood where the Turkey Leg Hut is with the primary objective of shutting down that business to facilitate gentrifying that Black community.
Good for them. Someone needs to stand up for a beloved educator. Connecting with students is not an easy job and the school board needs to recognize the real issues. Lack of funding, support, and intelligence to identify the education system is a complete joke. Speaking from 10 years in the classroom. Nobody cares about the kids. It’s all about more funding for the district. Not schools, districts.
All of our schools need to have ready classes like tech classes for our black youth. College don’t serve many of our kids anyways. We are tied down with loans and the jobs don’t pay US enough to live and pay loans. And once again they want us to go to college and it’s about the numbers but do the numbers of how many get that high paying job after college. Do a survey on where it serves our kids and community after college?
A lot of these so called colleges are go to shut down because it's not mathing because a lot of the graduates are not finding high paying jobs after earning their degree in their field of study.
I agree! I grew up in Detroit, MI and I will say the majority of us living in Detroit went from High School to a manufacturing job. At 19 I was making over 100k at Chrysler putting the speakers in vehicles on the assembly line. College wasn't pushed at the time. Every student wanted to work in the plants. I've put my kids through college, bought land and property. Blue Collar workers can have a better life than most. College is good. But the debt can have an impact once you graduate college. Texas wages are lower than most states. Yet the cost of living is higher now. So it's important to have an education so a person can have more choices and mobility to move elsewhere where wages are higher.
That's because they're not doing their homework...By finding out which fields are working well for today's time... That's very important to do before going into college or tech school..
It has always been about investments. During my undergraduate years, early 90's, I told others that student loans were packaged and sold on the secondary market as an extremely safe investment (guaranteed government interest payments, while in school and while students were not able to immediately repay), steady interest income, without threat of bankruptcy erasing the obligation. It was never about higher education for the masses.
It has NOTHING to do with the color of her skin but the level of her intelligence and degree of professionalism. If her dedication is to the students and not to be shaken they'll get you. She has the power to challenge this. Teachers rarely have that. A teacher is told not to talk about anything with anyone and scared with bullying toned threats. It ain't the color -unless it's GREEN- LIKE DISAPPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOUR ES FOR ATHLETICS.IMO. IMO. IMO.
People get fired at a job for nothing everyday. That's why now on an application it says you can quit without word and they can fire you without notice. 🤷♀️
Yup. This goes beyond just teachers lot of regular workers get fired on a daily basis from retaliation, personal grudges, and unfair treatment from managers. Every job has a corrupted side to it and all it takes is 1 person to ruin your career.
Your damn right Sir. FMLA, Should be NO contact about work. Retired DOD, do NOT trust the Unions.🤔 Go straight to state EEO board, file a report. 90 days for FEDs, not sure about state law..🤔👍🤞✌
I kept waiting to hear that she slapped a child, that she slept with a child, or something else egregious. (All stories I've heard happening in schools!) What I actually heard was someone didn't like her and they kept working until she was no longer in her position. Whether it was one or many, this just feels like "we don't think you deserve what you got so we're taking it from you!" I hope another school system sees this and begs her to work for them. I also hope she keeps her head up.
It's good to see many people stand up for her and for themselves. Even in the comment sections. I never heard of her the video was just on my news feed. Let's treat the ones who care, well. But it's crazy that when you want things to go right, you have forces that will not support that and they'll deny they're against you. I work at Amazon and some of the managers are the same way.
This happened in a state represented nationally by Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott. I can imagine what local school boards are like. The same people that vote for school board members support Cruz and Abbott.

They are 100% accurate I’ve been doing CCMR for 10 years those numbers matter in May!!! Not September… I used to be a College rep and visited every HS there. These new Superintendent have no idea of the good work that’s being done.
Thank you alumni for taking the standing up for our students an staff .... You said it right it's a real estate thing facts, they won't what we ain't giving up ( Pride, Integrity, Loyalty, and Black History.
I don't know anything about this principal or this school, but I do know a little about the IB Programme and schools. If a school isn't a good school it may make little difference if IB is there. Schools that are not good are not good. Bringing IB to a school does not make a school exceptional.
I felt bad for that sweet lady, she's everyone's need in real life smh! I hope she gets her justice right away, she deserves to stay as principal for that sweet and strong personality.
We had that happen here in Birmingham they closed down many of our schools and turned around and used them for new reasons ... Started bussing our kids across town to smaller schools and putting them in certain grades in certain areas instead of k-12 schools which helped families they dont care about the families or the kids
Great interview and support for the principal. The activists know well what’s going on and calling out the wrongdoing and those responsible for the unjust actions 🙏
This happened to the Principal at Delhi High School, in Delhi, LA a few years ago. A guy by the name of Alton McGee. He turned that school around, and the the Superintendent, Sheldon Jones, set the man up and forced him out (allegedly). This happens at Black High Schools all the time. Same thing with Principal Donna Marshall at Fair Park High School in Shreveport and Calvin Nicholas at Scotlandville High School in Baton Rouge. When a Principal turns around Black Schools, it ruins the Title 1 money train for failing schools.
*Hats off to these alumni taking a stand with the facts. Love it....May your efforts multiply.*

Because she's educating Black kids. That threatens the agenda of Liberals. They want you blinded by entertainment.
Sounds like she is being persecuted for righteousness’ sake:
Matthew 5:11-12 (KJV) 11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

College is not for everyone. We need more TRADE PROGRAMS/TRADE SCHOOLS for all students.
They want them drowning in student loan debt! College teaches you pretty much nothing! There are some professors, few and far between that challenge you to critically think! The rest of the professors, just need a job!!!
You are missing the point. The issue is the sabotage of this Black principal and her students to not go to college or have a good profession in the trades. They want to get rid of her, put a bad principal in and eventually close the school so the property can be sold. Either way, they want a school to prison pipeline and it's hard to do that with a great Black principal.

Bingo! That's what is missing from middle and high school. They should bring back trades for the young male students so they can learn trades at an early age but they took out those programs by design on purpose its sad. I tried college but it wasn't for me and I got a trade that brings in great income for me and my family

They pretend to teach kids not to be in gangs and these people are gangs and gangstalkers. At least people know the truth, this is hard to prove especially if they have a gang of people against 1, they will even get kids too. That's why there is a God in heaven who will judge all this at the end, if not here..unless true repentance, but these people are so sold out to the dark arts who knows if they will repent and we hand them our children and wonder why some come out different from home morals, but I can't deny their are some parents involved also.

I agree Gee !!
Wow. Activists FOR educators and education. Every city should have this type of community support. Hats off, Houston!
As someone who works in education,, I’m thoroughly convinced that our public school system is encouraging, if not designed to, make the general population unable to think for themselves and rely on the media and government. It’s a disgrace, and I hope parents are teaching their kids about the world
The people who run the world, are all devil worshipping Freemasons.
The accuracy!! I couldn't agree more!
Youre finally realizing the reason. I would recommend reading The Miseducation of the negro by Carter G Woodson
There is a book called The Dumbing Down of America. It’s been available for over 15 years.
Absolutely. They literally prepare kids for the workforce by making them wake up at 5-6am and stay in the school from 3-4pm just like a job. They also don't teach students how to be financially responsible though having a credit card is promoted as being important, like make it make sense? Everything is designed for the government and businesses to make money. Again everything from school, (including college because of unnecessary debt) the credit system, the roads, traffic laws and lights. The ROAD is a huge one a lot of us miss as money grab. For example it is very dangerous for cars on opposite sides of the road to be allowed to turn left and the other straight, roundabouts, traffic can continue on the side of you, WHILE you're allowed to turn left into a lane. These traffic laws and lights are designed to increase accidents which would result in more money for the city, government, and businesses. EVERYTHING is designed to get more money for them. EVERYTHING.
What stood out to me was,
“she’s received award after award”
“….she’s not fit to lead JY?H”
Those two things don’t mesh, so I’m extremely curious to hear exactly why she was fired.
I’m going to follow this story.
Either money laundering or sexual abuse of children.
If she was being threatened with termination while on leave under FMLA, she could have grounds for a lawsuit. Ideally, she should have filed a complaint with the state / federal gov't at the time.
Maybe that was the case, she probably made a anonymous complaint to someone and unbeknownst her name started floating around. Once its on paper in regards to your name and date, everybody’s getting ahold of it.
File a grievance
Yes, they cannot have any contact with her while she is on FMLA! Period!

I'm in Dallas, but went to TSU. That school is integral to that community. If this principal was getting awards and making positive progress with no scandal, THEN you have to start looking at the bureaucracy that made this happen and find out what their REAL AGENDA is and put a stop to it. We cannot afford to have the education system watered down any more than it already is for these children.
If your in this city, let this be the one you don't let them have. Stand up, go to that school board and demand accountability. Don't give in cause something is in play here and should be exposed. Good or bad.
@ Michael Jones: you show a rare insight and understanding of BUREAUCRACY, of what's "behind the curtain"! Yes, and must " find out what their REAL AGENDA is ", and always be aware of the underhanded methods that the bureaucracy WILL use to further their agenda.
And look at the original deed to the school and or it property. It may just be some type of clauses, stating for school only, land is for school only, if so, they can't destroy this school.

In many places and situations, they use a person of Minority race or gender or even a Majority person that they don't like, to build up the institution, company, department or team, then they fire that person and give the position to somebody they like. So that new person gets the credit for the work that was done by the fired person.

As a teacher who currently teaches at one of the worst schools in my city, I would never put my child in the Public Fool System. I'm homeschooling mine! Strong Administrators like this woman who don't play by the rules that want to keep or put schools like this one in the dunghill, get fired, or forced out in order to be replaced with weak, soft, and malleable Administrators who do whatever Central Office figureheads want. Bad schools means more money from the Federal Government, less local community sayso, a poor and generic education, and it becoming a factory to feed the various industrial complexes that make up our working and political society. This is the root cause of why our society has gone in the dunghill, combined with Social Media, and bad parenting... we are circling the drain, and it cannot be fixed.

I'm sure it was a stupid reason..maybe something as simple as a joke. Teachers and principals are fired for no damn reason. School districts have been big bullies especially to staff who are genuinely supportive of kids. They don't give resources yet have ridiculous expectations.
All they care about is damn numbers and not the kids. They don't care if the kids are suicidal or falling into drugs or whatever is a happening at home. All they care about is their money and protecting their legal butts (also for money). They want attendance and grades also for money. All this while teachers quit in high numbers. They will power trip their own districts to the ground.
The same thing is happening in South Carolina.
Wow, that's So True!! I'm a retired teacher and what you are saying is True!!! Most School districts are horrible!!! Like you said, honestly they don't care about the students or the parents!!! Also, they will get rid of you right away. Especially if you care. I don't miss it. I miss the students, but not the administrators and most staff. Too much silliness and unnecessary drama. 😑
Agree
Agree. This happens in Ga
Btw I was a teacher who was made to resign because one of my senior make students made a joke about "almost dying trying a pole dancing stunt in his sister's garage". We all laughed and I went back to teaching. Of course teens have teenage humor and kids joked about it every now and then. I left because I didn't like the job anyway . But the very disconnected admins who don't know how kids socialize, decided to question the kids after I left and asked if I was flirty or touchy with them..yes over a joke I didn't make. I normalized the reality of teenage humor and didn't punish the child because it was a self deprecating joke not targeted at anyone. Worse is that they didn't let me say goodbye. Some kids and their parents called me to dismiss all the crazy rumors that ensued. It was awful.
This, after I was the first support system for one kid at that same school whose friend committed suicide by hanging himself (also make student at the same school) and I had a long discussion about mortality and grieving with him and his other friend who also lost her step dad within the same two months.
As an outsider. I’m so glad for the platform, these gentlemen speaking up, and her professionalism that speaks for her.
These gentlemen are very well spoken with great information. I applaud their support to the school, children & principal. Go get ‘‘em sirs!!
I don't live in the area but I share their sentiments about the unjustified firing of a principal, by all accounts, who had an outstanding performance, and a great relationship with parents and students. I appreciate the men for advocating and shining a light on injustice.
The GOAL should be for a student to be functional after high school NOT college bound. College is not for everyone. Computers are taking over everyone job. Teach students a TRADE like electrician, plumber, baber, hairstylist, chef, event planner, mechanic.

When a principal like Yates develops plans and processes that gets things done right. You know somebody gonna be coming after someone like her. Therefore is it always best to make plans to continue those same examples and process just incase that person does get removed. And create a plan to detect the methods and actions used against people like her. Be prepared at all cost always. Stay focused. This is just an opinion.
Ohhhhh how this is experienced more than we know!! When there is a strong black woman who does not crumble like those they have bullied before her, egos are bruised and “HOW DARE SHE NOT BOW DOWN!”, “WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?!?!”. Instead of being open minded to new concepts and techniques to guiding children so that they can thrive. This is nothing to do with kids learning. It’s about a bully coming across the wrong one who isn’t afraid of you! Who stands up for herself, her profession and the children she graciously made a CHOICE to educate. This behavior takes place in many professions and it’s pitiful. I’m happy to see her community standing up for her and letting everyone know that they’ve screwed up royally and the community sees it!

I thought the purpose of high school was to prepare you to graduate high school. Whether or not high school students are college bound should be left up to students and parents. What's wrong with trade school or the service (Army, Airforce, Marines, Navy)?
Excellent point. There is NOTING wrong with trade schools, and frankly, these days I'd advocate for it. There is a big shortage of trades people and they have the capacity to make a VERY good living, and in a lot of cases more than many people with even Masters degrees.
As someone who went to college and also joined the military, it isn’t for everyone either. No the purpose of high school is to give you the basics and fundamentals skills of education to be able to critically think. Not to just simply graduate. There is absolutely nothing wrong with preparing students to be prepared for college should they choose to go. FYI, it’s better to go to college because when you do and have a degree 📜 you automatically start off at a higher rank that just going straight into the military after hight school. Stop ✋🏾 trying to force people to go into the military to be controlled and used by a system. PS, I’m a 21 years of service veteran who knows what I’m talking about.
1.The plan is the ones who go to prison are free labor and government pays to keep them there and they are a product! Make money on commissary and them being slaves work for free!
2. The want as many as they can shove on to college yo yo rack up huge debt with interest, to be a debt slave and they have to constantly work themselves to death!!!!
@La'Jon Elliott
I’m a military veteran also!
I agree with most of your comment. I went to community college for one year before I joined the military. The having a degree before joining the military does not really matter unless you are going to make a career out of the military. I did 6 years and got our when I was 26. Now I’m 30 and 100% P&T and don’t have to work another day of my life unless I want to! Not many people can say they are retired at 30 with full benefits. I did get my associates degree using my G.I.

Yes! You hit the nail on the head!
Good for them. Someone needs to stand up for a beloved educator. Connecting with students is not an easy job and the school board needs to recognize the real issues. Lack of funding, support, and intelligence to identify the education system is a complete joke. Speaking from 10 years in the classroom. Nobody cares about the kids. It’s all about more funding for the district. Not schools, districts.
Whoever wrote that headline need to be fired as well. PRINCIPAL...
I was in the IB program as a kid. It’s amazing she promoted the school in that way.
All of our schools need to have ready classes like tech classes for our black youth. College don’t serve many of our kids anyways. We are tied down with loans and the jobs don’t pay US enough to live and pay loans. And once again they want us to go to college and it’s about the numbers but do the numbers of how many get that high paying job after college. Do a survey on where it serves our kids and community after college?
Exactly
A lot of these so called colleges are go to shut down because it's not mathing because a lot of the graduates are not finding high paying jobs after earning their degree in their field of study.
I agree! I grew up in Detroit, MI and I will say the majority of us living in Detroit went from High School to a manufacturing job. At 19 I was making over 100k at Chrysler putting the speakers in vehicles on the assembly line. College wasn't pushed at the time. Every student wanted to work in the plants. I've put my kids through college, bought land and property. Blue Collar workers can have a better life than most. College is good. But the debt can have an impact once you graduate college. Texas wages are lower than most states. Yet the cost of living is higher now. So it's important to have an education so a person can have more choices and mobility to move elsewhere where wages are higher.
That's because they're not doing their homework...By finding out which fields are working well for today's time... That's very important to do before going into college or tech school..
It has always been about investments. During my undergraduate years, early 90's, I told others that student loans were packaged and sold on the secondary market as an extremely safe investment (guaranteed government interest payments, while in school and while students were not able to immediately repay), steady interest income, without threat of bankruptcy erasing the obligation. It was never about higher education for the masses.
Kudos to the Alumni for Keeping Up the Good Fight.
When good black people fail into the cross hairs of big money 💰
Make it about race. Aight…
Ignorant comment
@@ligmaballs6491 it’s always about race when ‘others’ are involved.
It has NOTHING to do with the color of her skin but the level of her intelligence and degree of professionalism. If her dedication is to the students and not to be shaken they'll get you. She has the power to challenge this. Teachers rarely have that. A teacher is told not to talk about anything with anyone and scared with bullying toned threats. It ain't the color -unless it's GREEN- LIKE DISAPPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOUR ES FOR ATHLETICS.IMO. IMO. IMO.
Exactly! It's all by design; setting her up for failure by not providing resources. Then force her out! This seems to be happening in every field now.
"You can't take a donkey to the Kentucky derby and expect it to win?"🤔 Damn.😂🤣😂
''Can't take a donkey to the Kentucky Derby''. Say no more.
Very articulate! I love this content these gentlemen are communicating to the public
People get fired at a job for nothing everyday. That's why now on an application it says you can quit without word and they can fire you without notice. 🤷♀️
Only some states can that happen - the "At Will" states only legally !
So much corruption is Truly sickening firing of good people!
Yup. This goes beyond just teachers lot of regular workers get fired on a daily basis from retaliation, personal grudges, and unfair treatment from managers. Every job has a corrupted side to it and all it takes is 1 person to ruin your career.
So proud of these two Brave men, coming on with the real.. Please go to Roland Martin as well, contact him..
@rolandsmartin
Atleast they are involved in the community
A beautiful woman like that is obviously politically targeted.
Your damn right Sir. FMLA, Should be NO contact about work. Retired DOD, do NOT trust the Unions.🤔 Go straight to state EEO board, file a report. 90 days for FEDs, not sure about state law..🤔👍🤞✌
SOUNDS LIKE A LAW SUIT TO ME..QUIT TALKING & GO LEGAL! EVERYBODY COME TOGETHER TO SUE THE DISTRICT & THE SUPERINTENDENT!
She was fired for elevating the post-high school education for Black and economically disadvantaged students.
I kept waiting to hear that she slapped a child, that she slept with a child, or something else egregious. (All stories I've heard happening in schools!)
What I actually heard was someone didn't like her and they kept working until she was no longer in her position. Whether it was one or many, this just feels like "we don't think you deserve what you got so we're taking it from you!"
I hope another school system sees this and begs her to work for them. I also hope she keeps her head up.
It's good to see many people stand up for her and for themselves. Even in the comment sections. I never heard of her the video was just on my news feed. Let's treat the ones who care, well. But it's crazy that when you want things to go right, you have forces that will not support that and they'll deny they're against you. I work at Amazon and some of the managers are the same way.
This happened in a state represented nationally by Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott. I can imagine what local school boards are like. The same people that vote for school board members support Cruz and Abbott.
So sad😢I had cousin's that attended Jack Yates 🙏🏼 I attended Texas Southern University, down the street from Yates. I remember when they were trying to close TSU, they could not bc it's the First Black "Historic" Law School, for Black People's. Talking about they don't need two colleges in the same area University of Houston, they didn't offer close U of H🙄🤔. Yes they did, Black's couldn't go to White colleges😁🤔 I hope TSU help save Jack Yates, it is a Prep. Hope the community comes out and help save Yates and the other schools, that the man called out🖤♥️👏🏼One of my Aunt's taught at Madison High School for more than 30 yrs, which was named♥️ I'll be tuning in to Roland Martin to get all the details 🙏🏼🖤♥️💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼#SaveBlackSchools
They are 100% accurate I’ve been doing CCMR for 10 years those numbers matter in May!!! Not September… I used to be a College rep and visited every HS there. These new Superintendent have no idea of the good work that’s being done.
Keep fighting brothers. Don't give up!!!!!
What are the allegations behind her being fired? Unclear after listening
Thank you alumni for taking the standing up for our students an staff .... You said it right it's a real estate thing facts, they won't what we ain't giving up ( Pride, Integrity, Loyalty, and Black History.
But Jack Yates was predominantly white before it was black. Some history for you….
@@ligmaballs6491 did you go to Yates I doubt it .
@@justincotton2904 my dad did. So what’s your point? I just wouldn’t understand the struggle? LMAOO
@@ligmaballs6491 What difference does any of that make now?
@@jimmyquick reread slowly what the OP wrote.
That's messed up! My sincerest prayers for her and her family.
They are trying to get rid of a Good Principal that actually cares about her teachers, kids, and the Black School.
I don't know anything about this principal or this school, but I do know a little about the IB Programme and schools. If a school isn't a good school it may make little difference if IB is there. Schools that are not good are not good. Bringing IB to a school does not make a school exceptional.
They want to remove the ones that cares and it’s up to us as parents not to tolerate it anymore.
Thank you for highlighting this.
I know exactly what happened somebody's jealous there's a powerful woman helping people and they can't take it.
I felt bad for that sweet lady, she's everyone's need in real life smh!
I hope she gets her justice right away, she deserves to stay as principal for that sweet and strong personality.
We had that happen here in Birmingham they closed down many of our schools and turned around and used them for new reasons ... Started bussing our kids across town to smaller schools and putting them in certain grades in certain areas instead of k-12 schools which helped families they dont care about the families or the kids
Great interview and support for the principal. The activists know well what’s going on and calling out the wrongdoing and those responsible for the unjust actions 🙏
she was too effective...of course she got fired
This happened to the Principal at Delhi High School, in Delhi, LA a few years ago. A guy by the name of Alton McGee. He turned that school around, and the the Superintendent, Sheldon Jones, set the man up and forced him out (allegedly). This happens at Black High Schools all the time. Same thing with Principal Donna Marshall at Fair Park High School in Shreveport and Calvin Nicholas at Scotlandville High School in Baton Rouge.
When a Principal turns around Black Schools, it ruins the Title 1 money train for failing schools.
As long as parents continue to send their children to toxic public schools, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Sadly, people will soon forget about the principal.
I hope she File an lawsuit!!! Against that Superintendent!!!! And the School District:
