Project Veritas: NYC Middle School Teacher Encourages Students to Engage in Political Violence, Throw Bricks at People with Opposing Views

 

Ariane Franco told her students to throw bricks at people with opposing views. Ms. Franco also said the Pledge of Allegiance is not respected in her classroom. Her students will not stand during the Pledge of Allegiance. 

“I tell them — my kids — we don’t stand up for the Pledge [of Allegiance]. We do the Pledge of Allegiance every morning, you know, but we keep going on our business. It was a class decision at the beginning of the school year: ‘They’re not talking about me, so I’m not standing up,’ you know?” 

... “This is what I told my students. I was like, ‘Guys, there’s strategic ways to do this [protest].’ You want to…I brought up [a] crazy organization that have done this. Like, they chose which places to throw bricks in. They chose — and they didn’t do it in their own neighborhood ...

They didn’t do it to black and brown communities. Doing it to our own community does not make sense,” Franco said. “You got to go after the people who it’s not directly affecting…Throw it [brick] at the people that are actually doing the things that [need to] change.”
