Donkey of the Day — Child With Dairy Allergy Forced to Clean Up Feces at School

Podcast: Donkey of the Day (The Breakfast Club, Power 105.1 FM)
Host: Charlamagne Tha God
Date: February 13, 2025

Episode Overview

In this episode, Charlamagne Tha God awards his infamous “Donkey of the Day” to the administration and a teacher at Rollins Place Elementary School in Zachary, Louisiana. The incident centers around a six-year-old girl with a documented dairy allergy who was forced to clean up her own feces after being given milk at school and having a resultant accident. Charlamagne discusses the emotional harm caused by the adults involved, criticizes the school’s lack of care and empathy, and offers commentary on the broader failings in the education system.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Incident Breakdown

Charlamagne reveals the school forced a six-year-old child, who has a known dairy allergy, to clean up her own feces following a bathroom accident caused by consuming milk at school ([02:26]).
The family had submitted proper medical forms instructing the school to avoid dairy, but these were apparently ignored.

2. Systemic School Failures and Critique of Teachers

Charlamagne emphasizes the profound trust parents place in schools:
“We drop our most precious gift off to strangers every day. ...We entrust our hearts outside of our bodies.” ([02:10])
He notes that while some teachers are dedicated and empathetic, “a lot of y’ all just don’t have it” anymore, underscoring a lack of compassion in the profession ([02:19]).
Addresses the irresponsibility of letting someone unfit remain in a teaching position after such a violation.

3. Empathy, Personal Connection, and The Power of Advocacy

Charlamagne draws from his own life:
- He has four daughters, one who is six—the same age as the child in question.
- He is personally lactose intolerant and relates to the child’s pain, humorously likening the urgency of lactose-related diarrhea to running from an explosion.
- “I can’t drink milk... because it gives me the Hershey squirts.” ([06:57])
Puts himself in the parent’s shoes, expressing outrage and the need to advocate for children’s dignity.

4. Emotional and Social Harm to the Child

Addresses the impact of public embarrassment for a child that age, noting kids will be relentless in teasing.
“It was an accident. The young girl was experiencing something she couldn’t control. And that something is diarrhea.” ([10:40])

5. Call-Outs and Calls for Action

Demands accountability from the teacher and the school:
“That teacher should have got beat up. ...We got a squabble.” ([08:03])
Asserts a teacher who demonstrates such callousness shouldn’t be in charge of children, and by extension, may not even be a good parent.

6. Wider Reflection on Parenting and Homeschooling

Candor about considering homeschooling as a means to protect children from indifferent school staff.
“If you can homeschool your kids, do it. ...We are just in an era where these teachers, they just don’t care like they used to.” ([01:50])

Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments

On the school’s responsibility:
“You send a janitor in with the proper equipment to clean up, but a six-year-old kid, you’re going to make her clean up poop without gloves or anything? ...It shouldn’t have never happened.” (Jameisha Augustine via WAFB report, [03:35])
Empathy as a requirement:
“If you are going to be in that position as a teacher, you have to, okay? It’s an act of public service.” ([02:17])
Personal outrage:
“You made my daughter clean up her own backdoor brownies with her bare hands. We all gotta fight. Tag team back again.” ([10:05])
On teacher qualifications:
“There is no way this woman can consider herself a good teacher. ...You’re not even a good parent.” ([10:45])
Broader lesson for teachers (Dr. Seuss allusion):
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. You have to start caring about these kids.” ([12:26])

Donkey of the day for Thursday, February 13th goes to the administration at Rollins Place Elementary School in Zachary, Louisiana. I wish I knew the teacher's name. I wish they released the teacher's name. I don't know why we protect people who do harm to children. Yes, this teacher at Rollins Place Elementary School mentally and emotionally harmed a child. I first want to send positive energy, love and light to Jamisha Augustine in Louisiana. Drop on the clues bombs for her. Okay. I am so sorry that your 6 year old had to deal with a lame ass teacher and is yet another reason why I think that if you can Homeschool your kids do it. Okay? My oldest homeschools right now. She homeschools right now because she wants to. And we are just in an era where these teachers, they just don't care like they used to. I'm not saying all of y', all, okay? There are still some great teachers out there. But as the son of a public school teacher, I understand the empathy, empathy and care one must have for kids in order to be a teacher. And a lot of y' all just don't have it. Okay? Do we understand we drop our most precious gift off to strangers every day? We entrust our hearts outside of our bodies. These souls that God used us to bring into the world. We drop them off every day for hours at a time with people we don't even really know. Okay, yeah, we know the teacher's names, but we don't know what type of time they really on. And that's why I have so much love for teachers who actually care, because they don't have to. But if you are going to be in that position as a teacher, you have to, okay? It's an act of public service. And this teacher at Rollins Place Elementary School, you failed. All right, who's grading you? Because you need to be left behind for what you made this six year old child do. What's the news network, Eddie? AFT afb. AFB as in boy. Let's go to WAFB for the report, please. Jamesha Augustine is fuming with frustration after adults forced her six year old daughter to clean up feces following a potty accident in class. Augustine recalls filling out forms for no dairy. Despite the food allergy, her daughter consumed milk at school for breakfast. After drinking the milk and multiple trips to the bathroom, Augustine's daughter defecated on herself while in class. Augustine's fury came when she recalls her daughter answering questions about what unfolded and the lesson they were trying to teach her child after having a reaction to something she's allergic to. You send a janitor in with the proper equipment to clean up, but a six year old kid, you're going to make her clean up poop without gloves or anything. But besides that, it's just disgraceful. It shouldn't be going on in our school. It shouldn't have never happened. Augustine says. Again, when she enrolled her daughter in the school, she submitted doctor's notes about the dairy allergy. Augustine tells us she met with the school system to make sure they stand by what they say they're going to do. Hey, man, that teacher should have got beat up. All right. There's so much about this story that triggers me. Number one, I have four beautiful daughters. One is six right now. Number two, I am lactose intolerant. All right? I feel this young girl's pain when it comes to dairy. I don't even like looking at cows, Okay? I totally understand why the Chick Fil a cow has been on a campaign for years to get people to consume more chicken. I can't do red meat because of my high cholesterol. And I can't drink milk or consume any dairy products because it gives me the Hershey squirts. Okay? Imagine when there's not much ketchup left in the bottle, so you squeezing it and it's coming out and squirts, and it sounds like the bottle farting. You know what I'm talking about? We get it. We get it. Yeah. I can't do ice cream, milk, cheese, if I do any of that. Cold brown. All right? Backdoor sprint. Bubble guts runs when you're walking up the ladder and you're hearing something splatter. Diarrhea. Diarrhea. So, yes, I feel this young lady's pain. And what I don't understand, and why violence is often necessary. This mother, Jamesha Augustine, told the school her daughter had a dairy allergy. They didn't listen. This young girl kept having to go to the bathroom, okay? Cause she drank some milk in the morning when she wasn't supposed to. If you a teacher and you an adult, period, you know something about lactose intolerance, right? If you know anything about lactose intolerance, then you know this little girl wasn't playing. There is no such thing as telling a kid she's going to the bathroom too much when she has diarrhea. She couldn't control her bowels. But instead of having empathy and caring and being there for this young lady, you decided to tell her, no, enough is enough. And she ended up pooping all over herself. Kids are cruel. They will tease her relentlessly for this. Okay? And then you decided to make up. Make her clean up her own feces. Feces without gloves. Because you wanted to teach her a lesson. Nah, we got a squabble. We got the squabble. Jamisha, her mother should have came in that classroom and knocked. Knocked everything off your desk, okay? There's all of this one right arm, just. Just for dramatic effect. And then she should have knocked your head off, okay? You got a husband. That little girl. Daddy should find him and beat him up, too. No, no, no, no. You made my daughter clean up her Own backdoor brownies with her bare hands. We all gotta fight. Tag team back again. All right? Me and my wife against you and your husband. There is no way this woman can consider herself a good teacher. And if you are making your own daughter do things like this, then you're not even a good parent. It was an accident. The young girl was experiencing something she couldn't control. And that something is diarrhea. How about let me make you a large McFlurry with ex lax, then make you drink some coffee, then make you take a shot of Hennessy, Okay? That's always been a laxative for me. I even make you eat some Mexican cuisine, okay? I make you do all that and then let me prevent you from going to the bathroom. Now what? Let me tell you something, teachers. There's a good lesson to learn from Dr. Seuss, okay? The Lorax. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. You have to start caring about these kids. Please give Rollins Place Elementary School in Zachary, Louisiana the biggest he haw. A person like that shouldn't even be teaching. That ain't funny. I'm not even joking. Because you have to care about these children. You ain't let this little girl go to the bathroom knowing she got diarrhea, knowing she lactose intolerant. And then you made her clean up feces with her bare hands. She's not fit to be a teacher. It don't matter if she was 10. It don't matter if she was 12. Like, no. Hell no, I'm with you, Charlamagne. Yeah, me and my wife, we got. We gotta go squabble up. Then call your mama and call your pops, because now grandpa and grandma want to come and squabble up too. Like we the whole family squabbling. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. Could you have a six year old picking up diarrhea? Nah, that ain't funny. I don't even pick up diarrhea. I don't even like. No, you can't be quick. Yeah, you gotta wipe it up with paper towels and tissue. You know what I'm saying? Oh, my gosh. Homeschool now. I ain't got time. Your baby is. What you mean? I ain't talking about Molly. I'm talking about Ashton. No. All right, you said my baby Ashton, the damn near grown ass. Man, they grow up fast in Baltimore. Molly 12 right now. Molly 12. First of all, she definitely about to be six months, but yes, I. I can't. Yo, schools are just. That's. It's not it for me. All right, well, thank you for that. Donkey today.
