CloudWatcher
(1,846 posts)Yeah, I want her teaching kids. She's at St. Francis College -- obviously a religious school. It'll be interesting to see
how loudly her actions are condemned by them. Hate like that doesn't grow in a vacuum.
Haggard Celine
(16,844 posts)Anybody who would do that to a child, or really anybody, has some serious defects. I don't know what needs to be done with her, but it seems like a short period in jail wouldn't be nearly enough for her. I hope they can do something with her that will make her change.

(4,542 posts)requirements called Supplemental Standards that are very strict because interaction with others is such an integral part of the job in those fields. I would be surprised if this school does not have Supplemental Standards. It is generally required by the accrediting body. So... yes, I think she just destroyed her academic career.

(13,490 posts)But I wouldn't say it's particularly or overtly religious. The students are mostly local Brooklyn kids. There are a few priests who mill about. Sports teams. It's a four year school, but it doesn't really have dorms or anything. It's a commuter school.
I'm more horrified about her being in psychology classes and education classes and her behaving like that. Holy monster.

How can someone like this get this way?
What can WE, in what was once thought of (well, at least some of US did) the greatest country on earth, really have watched, created, allowed someone this mean to get this far without realizing how wrong she was?
EVEN if we lock up the EX-PRESIDENT, we have SO much that needs to be done......

(16,925 posts)I spent my career in schools. I've seen them - parents (wow, the stories I could tell). And I am one. How do we fix things if it's the parents being the ones needing to be 'fixed?'
I'm actually amazed that we're not seeing more blame placed on 'the education system' than we are - as if 'the schools' are the ones that led to TFG and the current mess. It certainly can be a 'chicken/egg' dilemma - and we don't have an answer for that, do we?
Farther down this thread is a list from 'Samrob' of "anti's" - people with 'causes' that DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS in a 'free society.'
This OP is about a person that 'had the right' to spit on a kid? What about all of the "Karens" that are 'demanding' their rights - one was reported as saying if the school makes her kids wear masks she's loading her guns!

Dorian Gray
(13,490 posts)and the school is in Brooklyn. While it's a Catholic college, we are in a community with people of all backgrounds. The college is down the block from the Brooklyn Court House and the very diverse community in Brooklyn Heights/Downtown Brooklyn.
That student will be ostracized by her fellow students.
NanananaFatman
(85 posts)Are you saying all
Catholics are white, or the only the bad ones?
Please clarify.
Piasladic
(1,160 posts)I don't think the poster was talking about white people. I think they were saying that the community has all sorts of people, and that sort of stuff won't be tolerated.
Dorian Gray
(13,490 posts)I'm saying all Catholics are Catholic.
The school actually has a high percentage of Black and LatinX students. The diversity is of ethnic background, though, not religion.
This woman spit on an Orthodox Jewish child, and I don't think there are a lot of Orthodox Jewish students at St. Francis. There are, however, a lot of Orthodox Jewish people in Brooklyn.

(85 posts)Are you referring to me?
I signed up ages ago and only showed up on Sundays for Salmon Chanted Evening, the crown jewel of DU. IMO.
But I recently decided to engage in responses, because, well, I did. Not sure why.
I suppose if Ive broken some kind of unwritten rules, I guess I will be banned. Such is life. Ill miss SEE tho. Those posts are like church for me.

(38,414 posts)More horrific than any movie ever.. About Concentration Camps during WWII that the German Army ran.
Yes, ..the concentration camps that killed hundreds of thousands if not millions...She should be forced to
watch it a few times........
Yes, it is 30 minutes long on the internet for free. and also a description is at Internet Movie Data Base.
Here is the link:... https://www.imdb.com/
Look up "Night and Fog" the reviews will scare the hell out of you..and they talk about the movie..and
Yes....I wrote one of those first 10 reviews...about stludents in a class that thought it would be OK,
and they could handle it, and then screaming in horror at the end of a 30 minute movie..about
concentration camps of Nazi Germany.
Here is a direct link to reviews about... Night and Fog...also sort the reviews by total votes.
You will then see the strongest reviews. Mine is the 6th on the ... total vote list......and yes,
you have never read reviews like this ever...and the pictures are totally real..taken by the Nazis themselves,
and allied soldiers who entered the concentration camps after we won the war, and took over the camps...
.........YOU ARE WARNED....READING THESE REVIEWS MAY MAKE YOU SAD!!! NOT A LITTLE, BUT A WHOLE LOT
The Most Powerful Film Ever Made

(38,414 posts)So, if the ideas of concentration camps & dead bodies hurt or scare you, well don't watch. Forget it.
You know the show and have read about what Nazi Germany did to people. We really don't need to
see pictures of the Holocaust. Don't watch this one. I once read a book about the massacre of
Native Americans by soldiers. I think I got half way through, and stopped reading. Yes, horrific
book, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown. I could not read the whole thing,
even though I assigned it to be read as extra credit in my class. Forget this movie & this book.
Move on to something fun...Yes, there is a fun movie...Singing in the Rain. Even though
I know the plot backwards and forwards it is fun to watch, the dancing is great, as is the comedy.

No.
Most of the kids I know in this age group are good spirited and kind towards all others, and I'd like to think that this is true for the vast majority of us and the young kids of today (all of the ones I know are wonderful).
Unfortunately, you do have idiots like this. I expect that by now, she's gaining attention (far more than what she ever expected, negative-wise), but she alone, did it to herself.
A very expensive mistake in her life, I feel.
I hope that the children are okay, and that they don't hold up this ignorant POS up as a standard role model. She isn't.

(2,957 posts)"Darling" is the most ironic name possible for this disturbed piece of work. I wonder how her parents feel about this?
Many years ago - before "Karen" was a thing - I witnessed a middle-aged woman chewing out two young gay teens from the local high school. The boys were on a date and were holding hands. We were in a burger joint. The lady tried to spit on the kids, but her mouth was too dry and nothing came out - due to her elevated adrenaline and nervousness, I assumed.
Anyway, I quickly walked up to her and confronted her and was within a half breath of grabbing her and dragging her out of the restaurant. I was so enraged that my vision was foggy. Fortunately, I had the ability to stop myself from touching her in any manner. I managed only to scream a few inappropriate curse words at her.
If I had been a witness to Ms. Darlings exemplary behavior, I wouldn't have been able to restrain myself and would have slammed my fist into her face a single time from an overhead position. I would have been guilty of battery. These people bring out the worst in us.
