Leftist racism is in their DNA
Hunter College professor Allyson Friedman sparks fury as she’s caught on hot mic making ‘blatantly racist’ comment
A New York City university professor has sparked widespread fury after she was caught on a hot mic making a crass comment about black students — which education officials branded “blatantly racist.”
Allyson Friedman, an associate professor at Hunter College, sparked controversy when she interjected a black eighth-grade student’s concerns about the potential shutdown of her school during a Community Education Council meeting on Feb. 10.
“They’re too dumb to know they’re in a bad school,” Friedman reportedly said while her mic was live, according to the New York Times.
“If you train a black person well enough, they’ll know to use the back,” she said. “You don’t have to tell them anymore.”
She seemed to be referring to a comment made by Reginald Higgins, the school district’s interim acting superintendent, who spoke about Carter G. Woodson — the father of black history.
“If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told,” Woodson wrote in his 1933 book “The Mis-education of the Negro.”
A university spokesperson described Friedman’s comments as “abhorrent,” according to the Daily Mail.
Education officials were left profoundly disturbed and students on the Zoom call were left stunned by Friedman’s comments.
“I am deeply disturbed by the blatantly racist and harmful remarks made during the CEC3 [Community Education Council for School District 3] meeting…,” said Rita Joseph, the city council education chair.
Brad Hoylman Sigal, the Manhattan borough president, described Friedman’s remarks as “outrageous.”
“It is particularly despicable that these vile words were uttered while children were giving testimony at the meeting, exposing them to this hatred,” he added.
Friedman apologized for her comments as she tried to clarify her remarks, as reported by the Times.
“My complete comments make clear these abhorrent views are not my own, nor were they directed at any student or group,” she said.
“I fully support these courageous students in their efforts to stop school closures.
“However, I recognize these comments caused harm and pain, while that was not my intent I do truly apologize.”
Black students make up around 20% of the total number of students enrolled in schools across New York City.
In recent weeks, officials have been mulling plans to shut down schools in Manhattan District 3, as reported by Chalkbeat.
More than 17,000 undergraduates and 5,500 graduates are enrolled at Hunter College.
Black or African American students make up around 11.5 percent of the university’s undergraduate enrolment.
Gavin Newsom pardons criminal illegal migrant convicted for attempted murder: DHS
Gavin Newsom pardons criminal illegal migrant convicted for attempted murder: DHS
California Governor Gavin Newsom pardoned a convicted attempted murderer who was an undocumented illegal immigrant, opening the possibility for him staying in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Somboon Phaymany was convicted of numerous charges, including attempted murder, assault with a semi-automatic firearm, assault with a firearm, and conspiracy to commit assault with a firearm after a judge sentenced him in 1997 to 14 years to life.
In December 2025, Newsom pardoned him for transforming his life and providing “evidence that he is living an upright life and has demonstrated his fitness for restoration of civic rights and responsibilities.”
DHS said the pardon allows Phaymany to “re-open immigration proceedings rather than be removed from the U.S. and will be able to remain in California communities.”
“Governor Newsom pardoning an illegal alien convicted of attempted murder, so he can remain in our country is absolute INSANITY,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his sanctuary politicians are protecting. He is putting the lives of all Americans at risk.”
Phaymany, who was 19 at the time of his conviction, lost his green card and was placed in removal proceedings and issued a final order of removal by a judge in 2019.
“Gavin Newsom’s pardon took away this attempted murderer’s qualifying convictions that made him removable from the U.S.,” McLaughlin said.
Phaymany applied for executive clemency early last year.
“This act of clemency for Mr. Phaymany does not minimize or forgive his conduct or the harm it caused. It does recognize the work he has done since to transform himself,” Newsom wrote in the pardon notice.
The California Post has reached out to the governor’s office for comment.
Earlier this month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sent a letter to Newsom and the state attorney general urging them to stop “sanctuary” policies that allow criminal undocumented immigrants to walk out of jails and back onto the streets.
The letter asked whether the state would be complying with immigration detainers — requests to local law enforcement to hold an undocumented immigrant who is about to be released from custody after an arrest or upon completion of a sentence.
The federal government alleges that at least 4,500 undocumented immigrants with criminal backgrounds have been released back onto American streets by California.

Russiagate quietly reaches Supreme Court as justices asked to allow feds to be sued for FISA abuses
Carter Page alleges feds violated his constitutional rights by submitting false or misleading information to secure a FISA warrant.
Litigation brought by a key figure in the Russiagate scandal has quietly reached the Supreme Court, giving the nation’s nine justices a chance to weigh in on an investigation that has become a symbol of law-enforcement and intelligence abuses during the Obama-Biden era.
Carter Page, an energy consultant who briefly served as a foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, became the subject of an FBI counterintelligence investigation into possible Russian election interference known as Crossfire Hurricane.
In 2020, Page filed a federal lawsuit seeking damages from then-FBI Director James Comey and other former officials, including former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
He alleged that they violated his constitutional rights by submitting false or misleading information to secure the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) warrant, and that he was wrongfully surveilled as part of a politically motivated investigation.
Page sought hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, arguing that the surveillance severely harmed his reputation and career.
Federal courts ultimately dismissed Page’s lawsuit. While the Justice Department acknowledged serious mistakes in the FISA process related to Page, the courts concluded that those errors did not entitle him to monetary damages from the named officials.
The petition was filed with the Supreme Court on December 11, 2025, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Page’s lawsuit.
The Supreme Court is currently considering whether to hear the case, Carter Page v. James B. Comey, in the 2025–2026 term, but as of now it has not made a final decision.
The government has successfully asked for permission to delay its response until mid-March.
Page's lawyers argue that the case is important to civil liberties, and that the justices should allow victims of false FISA warrants to sue federal officials.
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation obtained four warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to surveil Petitioner Dr. CarterPage. But its applications contained multiple errors, omissions, and misstatements that the FBI later concluded vitiated its showing of probable cause," Page's lawyers argued.
"Worse, it was later revealed that two agents leaked information about the FBI’s surveillance to the press, resulting in an April 2017 article in The Washington Post," his motion added.
Newsom exemplifies Democrat racism... as Malcom X said the biggest threat to the Blacks community are white liberals
Newsom Tells Black Audience He's Just Like Them Because He Has a Mental Disorder
"This is AI slop. It is impossible that Newsom actually said this," social scientist Charles Murray posted in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest ham-fisted attempt at connecting with voters outside his state. "Right?" Murray added, and you could practically hear him begging for it not to be true.
"Holy God in heaven please tell me that my black brothers in Christ can look at the world's stupidest white man and understand that he is a bad person," my old X acquaintance Political Math added.
My Townhall colleague Amy Curtis noted, "It's just like when Joe Biden said, 'Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.'"
Deny all you like, but yes, as Chad Prather explained, "Gavin Newsom told a black audience that he’s just like them because of his low SAT scores and inability to read."
Newsom made his "I'm like you... I'm a 960 SAT guy" comments during a book tour stop in Atlanta on Sunday while promoting his memoir, Young Man in a Hurry. In too much of a hurry to stop and consider comparing his mediocre SAT score — which was due to dyslexia — to a largely black audience.
"His way of bonding with black people is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read," entertainer Nikki Minaj said. "This means my first read on him was correct. He’s been handed so many things & put in high positions he never earned or deserved."
She went on: "Do you wanna know the craziest part of this footage that will haunt him forever? He’s literally slowing his speech down & talking in a sporadic cadence."
But other than that, how did you enjoy Gavin's remarks, Ms. Minaj?
In the interest of fairness, here are Newsom's exact words, which a few people on X who really ought to know better truncated to "I cannot read." That isn't what he said — or at least not quite.
"I'm not trying to impress you, I'm just trying to impress upon you I'm like you," Newsom pandered. "I'm no better than you, you know. I'm a 960 SAT guy. Heh. And, you know, I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, I'm not trying to act 'all there' if you got 940. Heh. But literally a 960 SAT guy. You've never seen me read a speech, because I cannot read a speech. [laughing] Maybe the wrong business to be in."
The kindest possible explanation for Newsom's... whatever that was... came from Bindass Bebii who added this context: "Newsom has spoken openly for years about his severe dyslexia. He’s referencing his own struggles with reading, but the phrasing here is definitely... a choice."
Exactly. The choice Newsom made was to approximate a white guy suffering from lifelong dyslexia thats so bad he "can't read a speech" to a roomful of black people who were, I dunno, just born that way, I guess.
