The student was wrong. AND it's issues like this that are truly desensitizing the 'true' attacks upon the African American culture. Folks hear it so much that their ears become dull and insensitive to it. Her feet belong on the floor...period! Stop giving people unnecessary / uncalled for reasons to single a Black person out. Stop feeding the 'trolls'. It's unfair to those who truly have legitimate causes to fight for.

I agree!!!!The student was wrong. AND it's issues like this that are truly desensitizing the 'true' attacks upon the African American culture.

It was very much overkill, like ask the student to remove feet, if they do not comply then escalate....What do you think of the Professor's reaction?

You’re supposed to be reporting crimes to the police, not annoyances.
I agree!!!!

I agree though, YT folks stay with BARE feet everywhere, but I am tired of the whole if they can do it so should we type talk....
Soo what's missing here is did the teacher ask her to put her feet down and she didnt comply? And perhaps then asked her to leave and again didnt comply? For me given the inaction of the other students it leads me to believe this was the case.
The story makes it seem like the girl put her feet up and teacher called police without saying anything to the girl. This feeds the racist narrative they are painting but is it the truth? I think if it happened this way students would have said something in her defense. The silence to me tells another story here like an altercation happened and then police were called.
I guess we will see. Sometimes they put out those narratives to appease the masses so they dont start a race thing. I in no way think calling the police was appropriate but I do want to know what happened prior to them being called.I don't think this is the case. The memo from the university's president clearly indicates they are taking the student's side here... since this is Texas, my guess is that Pamela Professor is a right-winger and is learning the hard way!
I still don't know how they do it in cars. It looks uncomfortable.It's ironic cuz they love to put their feet everywhere (especially on planes and trains). Guess not ok for a black girl to do it.

You must be tall.
For those of us who are a tad height challenged, there are few things more comfortable when you're feet are aching and you are sitting in a passenger seat than doing that.
It's as Hillbilly as all get out, but sometimes my swolen feet say "Yasssssssss Queen" and just make me!
