"When a teacher like Mrs. Swisher, fifth grade, chooses Tupac Shakur as a role model for her class for Black History Month and puts a picture of him wearing the red bandana (a sign of the gang he represented) on her class room door I have to question her and the principals judgement. Even though he was a good artist he was a gang member that objectified women by calling them bhes and wh++es and was shot down in the streets by rival gang members. Is this a teacher you want teaching your children? A teacher that threatens her students with "what goes on in my class room stays in my class room". What is she trying to hide? If she were a man would parents worry more about this kind of behavior around children? Also her class room is a fire hazard with no clear way for children to escape in an emergency."
