   The teacher accidentally stayed signed onto Zoom at the end of   
   the session and began a "racist, inflammatory rant'' about the   
   boy and his mother that went on for more than a half-hour,   
   according to the claim.   
      
   The mother of a Black sixth-grader filed a legal claim against   
   the Palmdale School District Thursday over a racist rant   
   directed at her son and his family by a teacher who failed to   
   sign off Zoom following a student-teacher session.   
      
   In the video, the teacher can be heard disparaging the family   
   and referring in a negative way to their ethnicity, according to   
   the claim, which is a precursor to a lawsuit.   
      
   "The horrible comments the teacher made in the video are truly   
   heartbreaking for a mother to hear and for her young son to   
   hear,'' said attorney John C. Taylor, who represents the   
   claimant.   
      
   "It's unthinkable that an educator would mock and belittle this   
   family and there is no doubt that this incident has scarred   
   them,'' he said.   
      
   "All children are entitled to receive an educational experience   
   free of discrimination and this video has demonstrated what   
   minority students often face behind the scenes today.''   
      
   Asked in an email about the claim, PSD Superintendent Raul   
   Maldonado referred to a February statement by district spokesman   
   David Garcia that the teacher in question resigned from her job   
   in January after being confronted about her statements.   
      
   Lawyer Neil Gehlawat, who also represents the claimant, said   
   that like many parents whose children have struggled to   
   transition to online schooling during the coronavirus pandemic,   
   the claimant reached out for help and discovered that her son   
   was allegedly being treated unfairly because of his skin color.   
      
   The woman's son, a sixth-grader at Desert Willow Fine Arts,   
   Science and Technology Magnet Academy in Palmdale, struggled   
   with his online platform and had difficulty accessing the system   
   for instruction, according to her claim.   
      
   The boy's mother says she contacted school officials often for   
   help and was instructed to follow up with her child's teachers,   
   and the educator in question responded by scheduling a Zoom call   
   with the boy and his mother.   
      
   The teacher accidentally stayed signed onto Zoom at the end of   
   the session and began a "racist, inflammatory rant'' about the   
   boy and his mother that went on for more than a half-hour,   
   according to the claim.   
      
   The boy's mother recorded the rant because she could not believe   
   what she was hearing and thought no one would believe her since   
   the comments were so outrageous, according to her attorneys, who   
   said the teacher can be seen drafting an email to the boy's   
   other teachers in which she repeatedly mocks and denigrates his   
   mother.   
      
   The teacher went on to call the family "a piece of   
   (expletive),'' and said the boy had learned to lie to everyone   
   and make excuses because "this is what Black people do,''   
   according to the claim.
