- Charlamagne Tha God [04:31]

• Broader Critique of Florida's Educational Policies:
  • He juxtaposes Florida's restrictive educational policies with the permissive environment that allowed such violence to occur.

• Educational Oversight:
  The incident highlights significant gaps in oversight and vetting processes for substitute teachers, raising concerns about student safety and institutional accountability.

• Media Representation:

[Vanessa Marshall]

Why does the Sunshine State consistently produce such strange news?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If I catch y'all ass in traffic, I whipple my Jenny out. Y'all will suck y'all. It is just one of the many wacky news stories out of Florida on the breakfast. Who was Kodak talking to when he said that? I Don't know, Doc. Here today for Tuesday, March 11, goes to a Florida woman named Gianine White. What does Yonka Charlotte always tell you about the great state of Florida? Say it with me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. Now, Giannine is the substitute teacher. Growing up, we all love the substitute teacher because the substitute didn't give a damn. Okay? I have no idea what type of life substitute teachers led outside of being substitute teachers, but the ones I grew up with, it didn't care what we did when they subbed for us as long as we was behaving. But Giannine is not one of those teachers. In fact, Janine cares a little too much, and she does a little too much. She took her job a little too seriously. And I will never for the life of me understand why adults think it's perfectly okay to play with other people's kids, as if these kids don't have adults that love them. Okay? Parents that will come put hands on your punk ass. And I'm telling you right now, Giannine believes in violence. So if a parent came through who also believes in violence and wanted to teach Giannine a lesson, she would have every right to do that. Okay? Wait until you hear the story. Let's go to First Coast News for the report, please.

[News Reporter]

An arrest warrant from February 12 provides a JSO officer's account of what they heard from witnesses. The report says Jeanine White, a substitute teacher, was frustrated when a student refused to break into small groups. It says she asked the class quote, who in here can beat him up? After four kids raised their hands, she called on them one by one to fight the student while she watched. The report says White pushed this student, causing him to hit a desk. And police saw a cut and bruises around his ear. First Coast YMCA said in a statement the substitute was properly vetted. They did an internal investigation that resulted in terminating the substitute and reporting the incident to dcf. We tried to call White at a number listed in the report. Someone answered, but immediately hung up when we said we were with the news. White faces a felony child abuse charge and several misdemeanors.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Her name is Janine. Why? She had all those letters to Janine got me saying, Gianneen Janine was a substitute at YMCA TYGA Academy in Jacksonville, Florida. Salute to everybody who listens to us. On 93.3 to beat in Jacksonville. Drop on the clues bombs for 93.3 to beat. This is why we want substitute teachers to come in and not touch anything. Instead, Janine comes in and orchestrates of classroom fight club. Okay? 57 years old and she was upset that an elementary school student supposedly ignored a request from her. This report says she wasn't feeling well. I don't care if you don't feel well. Stay your ass at home. Don't bring that funky negative energy around those kids. Then you end up projecting that nasty ass attitude on the others. It's all projection. And that projection caused you to line those kids up in a single file line and beat on some poor little child for no damn reason other than your fragile ass ego was bruised. Four successive attacks from students. Then Janine, the 57 year old woman, after the person got beat up four times, pushed the victim to the ground, causing him to hit his head on the desk. You can't tell me that this woman, Janine shouldn't receive the same treatment, okay? She should get beat up by four different family members of this young child. And the young child's parent should be pushing her head into a desk. Okay? The other thing I really despise about this story is that in the news report it says Janine dragged the student on the ground by the collar and reported him to school authorities and told school authorities the little boy was in need of behavioral assistance. No, ma'am. Nope, nope, nope. You are in need of behavioral assistance. Okay? You need a therapist and an exorcism. This is what happens when the wrong people get hired for the right job. Okay? This is like gang initiation over education. You might as well have been putting this. You might as well, you know, got this child jumped into a set. Okay? By the way, Florida, explain to me why you can't read certain books in school, but you can run a classroom fight ring. Okay? You can't organize about black history, but you can organize a beat down of a student. You supposed to be giving kids an outline of the syllabus, not an outline of the UFC training manual. Please let Remy Ma give Janine White the biggest hee haw. Hee haw, hee haw. You stupid mother. Are you dumb? I'm telling you right now, this is why more and more people are homeschooling their kids. Cuz you can't trust your kids around other adults. Damn right. And this supposed to be a public servant. This supposed to be a person that comes to this school and you know, is just there for the betterment of the students and think about what she's doing to these kids. We play a game. No, I don't actually. I Don't want to play a game. Why not? Because there's no need. Her name is Janine, but she spelled it G, E, A, N, E, N, E. All black. Her last name is White, though. Yeah, but with all them letters, it was too much. Yeah, it was too much. She black? She black? Yeah, she's black. Okay, you want to see how black? Yes. Let me see. Let me show you. Mind you, man, I told you, she from Florida. Now, all right, let me see. Hold on. Be prepared to see what you gonna see now. Okay, hold on now. All right. Oh, you. Oh, man. Florida Evans indeed. Okay. All right, all right, all right. Look like she had beat the hell out of somebody. She had these dresses. She was 16 too. They used to be long and thick. That's wild. Jesus. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. She really looked like. All my life I had to fight. All my life I had to fight. So now. Now your kids gotta fight too, Daddy. Jesus. Jesus. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. She probably knew Jesus and she only 57. She's not that old. I mean, not age, but. Yeah, she definitely. Yeah, she definitely. Her body age is 103 easily. She's stressed. Yeah, well, she need to leave. Go. Go do something to deal with that stress. No damn kids, though. No, no, she taking that stress out on them kids. That's the problem. Stop. Yeah, don't stop putting that in my face, man. What is that? First of all, pause, but what is that? What? What? What? It was elementary, middle, high, elementary. Elementary. Oh, yes, little kids. All right, well, Donkey of the day is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Laminsoft. Don't be a donkey when you need a fighter on your side. If you're ever injured, go to Michael the Bull dot com. That's MichaeltheBull dot com and when you mess with the bull, you get the horns. Wake that ass up early in the morning. The Breakfast Club.
