chlomamee whore Donna give a dusky the other day soon.

0:25

Now, Yes, donkey today for

0:27

Monday, March twenty fifth, goes the tail Of Preparatory

0:30

High School in Detroit. Slu to everyone who

0:32

listens to us on w j LB in Detroit,

0:34

drop one the clothes.

0:35

Bombs for the day. Detroit.

0:38

We have a small problem this morning. See there's

0:40

a history teacher named Dominique Brown. And if you ask

0:42

me, there is an injustice that happened to Dominique

0:44

because Dominique Brown was let go from her job

0:47

at Tailor Preparatory High School. Yes,

0:49

let go, fire, terminated, discharged,

0:52

all because they didn't like her side

0:54

hustle, all because teachers are so underpaid

0:56

in this country that a lot of them have

0:59

to try to find other sources of incomes.

1:01

Are other careers. Okay, trust me.

1:03

My mother was an English teacher in South Carolina, and I've

1:05

said on this radio public school teachers

1:08

are disgustingly underpaid,

1:10

all right, The humans that we entrust with our most

1:12

prized possessions, our children,

1:15

are barely getting by. There was a survey done

1:17

by Anya dot org that found teachers

1:19

work more hours per week than other

1:21

working adults.

1:22

Yes, an estimated fifty three.

1:24

Hours per week, seven more hours

1:27

than the average working adult. And

1:29

teachers, no surprise here, report much

1:31

less satisfaction with their base pay

1:33

than other working adults, and twenty five

1:36

percent of their work is uncompensated.

1:39

Did you hear what I just said?

1:40

Twenty five percent of all the work teachers

1:42

do is uncompensated, and sixty six

1:45

percent say their base salary is inadequate,

1:47

compared with thirty nine percent of working adults.

1:49

Okay, it's terrible, horrible for what

1:52

teachers mean to us in our communities. It's actually

1:54

kind of criminals. So when you have teachers like Dominique

1:56

who clearly love what they do because they're really

1:58

you know, there really is no reason to be a

2:01

teacher other than love, because you know

2:03

you're gonna be overworked and underpaid to If Dominique

2:05

wants to have a side hustle, God bless her. I

2:07

know what you're thinking, Uncleshalla. What you're

2:09

saying sounds good. But before I agree,

2:12

what is her side hustle? Well, let's go to

2:14

WTAE Detroit for the report.

2:15

Police.

2:16

Dominique Brump, whose rap name is Dripping Honey,

2:18

has been an educator for seven years and

2:20

started teaching history at Taylor Preparatory

2:23

High School in August, but all that came

2:25

to an abrupt end months later after

2:27

she says a parent came across one of her rap

2:29

videos.

2:30

The first meeting that I had was like

2:32

the principal dund and they had told me that the parent

2:34

wished to stay anonymous, and she felt

2:36

as if she didn't like my rap career and

2:39

that I was a bad influence on the kids because I

2:41

rap.

2:41

She said she was fired in February because

2:43

she's a rapper. Before the firing, around

2:46

Thanksgiving, she says, there were meetings

2:48

and an ultimatum.

2:49

My mind, in my heart was telling me two things. I'm just

2:51

I couldn't see myself like giving up

2:53

my other passion just because

2:56

somebody didn't like it. They

2:58

said, erase all your content. That was all and maybe

3:00

erast all your content. I'm just like, respectfully,

3:02

I can't do that.

3:03

Brown acknowledges the profanity in her lyrics,

3:05

but she says that has nothing to do with Taylor

3:07

Prepp and the positive impact she's had

3:09

on her students and the community. In February,

3:12

on her last day, she created a music

3:14

video with her students that has since gone viral.

3:16

Christina Lenz says her son in eleventh

3:18

grader started a petition in supportive miss

3:21

Brown, gathering over two hundred student

3:23

signatures.

3:23

Dropping the Clues Box with Dominique brownieka

3:26

Dripping.

3:26

Honey, Dripping Honey fired because

3:28

of an anonymous hating as parent complaining

3:31

saying she's a bad influence on her students

3:33

because she's a rapper.

3:34

How you feel like that?

3:35

In Detroit, home with some of the most

3:37

influential people ever to pick up a microphone,

3:40

there is nothing but a bunch of rapidy,

3:42

rap ass Negroes and Caucasians

3:45

in Detroit. Okay, people in Detroit started

3:47

rapping soon as they come out the womb, soon

3:49

as they get smacked on the ass by the doctor.

3:51

They don't cry. They start spitting, Boss,

3:54

I don't even know what it thought. Trick Trick, Ice wear

3:56

Vessel, Side of Babies, Baby Phase Rade forty two,

3:58

Doug cast Doll, Royce five nine

4:00

d twelve, Danny Brown.

4:01

Oh he tries Big Sean. Oh.

4:03

They got this one guy who's considered by

4:05

many one of the greatest of all time. He's not on my

4:07

personal list, but objectively speaking, you can't

4:09

deny his place in hip hop culture. Marshall matters

4:12

is that name ring a bell? What I'm telling

4:14

you is rapping in Detroit is

4:17

like breathing, okay, and being from Detroit.

4:19

There's a lot of other side hustles she could be

4:21

doing that could be considered a bad influence,

4:23

but rapp ain't one of them.

4:24

Yo.

4:25

Now she got a record, okay. You heard them talk about

4:27

it in the news report.

4:28

I saw. I watched it on YouTube.

4:30

It's called Dripping One on One And in the

4:32

video she has some.

4:33

Of her students, you know actually

4:36

in the video.

4:36

In the description of the video, it says, Dripping one

4:39

on one featuring the best students in the world.

4:41

All I hear is a positive

4:43

anthem.

4:44

Okay, a positive anthem

4:46

okay, encouraging young ladies not to be ho

4:48

east. Okay, I don't know how old Dominique

4:51

Brown is, but she doesn't look old. And this is the

4:53

first time, probably ever in the history of life,

4:55

that the age demographics between adults

4:57

and kids is really non existent.

4:59

And what I mean by that is the stuff we was raised

5:01

on in the nineteen hundreds and early two thousands really

5:03

ain't no different from you know what these kids is

5:05

on now. It's the same type of content. Okay, argue

5:07

amongst yourselves. We try to act like our generation was

5:10

so much better. They might have been talent

5:12

wise, but the content is the same.

5:14

Okay. How is the generation to raise off?

5:15

Nwa Uncle Luke lil Kim three

5:17

six, Mathia and Eminem. Gonna judge anybody,

5:20

Okay, as long as that woman is doing what she's supposed

5:22

to be doing in that classroom and her kids

5:24

are learning and passing. If she wants to rap

5:26

in her spare time, let up. And I bet

5:29

you all of those kids trust her more

5:31

than they trust any other teacher in the school

5:33

because she speaks their language.

5:35

Okay, how about this?

5:36

Instead of stopping teachers side hustles,

5:39

how about improving pay because

5:41

a lot of teachers are getting out of the teaching

5:43

business, and a lot of teachers aren't looking to a

5:45

lot of people aren't even looking to get into the teaching

5:47

business. So if you want to recruit and retain

5:49

educators, get their money up, but

5:52

not only that, improve the number of hours

5:54

worked in their overall working conditions.

5:56

That's how you gonna keep teachers wanting to be teachers.

5:59

And then the mean time.

6:00

You shouldn't try to stop them from rapping

6:02

to potentially find the career to make its

6:05

meat. You should be ashamed that they have to

6:07

attempt to rap to find a career

6:09

that make ins meat because you not paying

6:11

them enough as a teacher. Please

6:13

give Preparatory High School in Detroit the biggest

6:16

s hull.

6:20

What y'all is giggling at looking

6:24

at her?

6:25

6:58

7:01

like the teachers that got that back down

7:04

7:05

It might be high school. Yeah, the kids looked older.

7:47

You know what I say, I went to a college preparatory school

7:49

that was high school.

7:50

If I'm being honest, some of the kids in the video look older

7:52
