Oakland teacher says 'rich white parents' complaining about their children's mental health while schools are closed have made their kids MORE entitled and blames them for the increase in anxiety
Bethany Meyer is a special education teacher at Oakland Unified School District and secretary of the local teachers' union
'All the rich white parents suddenly concerned about mental health can take a seat,' she wrote on Twitter on February 17 about parents who were worried about how distance learning was affecting their kids
She said such worries were causing children anxiety and 'feeding into their sense of entitlement'
Some parents accused the teacher, who is white, of speaking for black parents and assuming it is only 'white parents' concerned about schools reopening
