During a Carroll Independent School District board meeting, Jake Berman, a former student who said he was bullied in middle school, responded to a district administrator’s recent advice that teachers offer students books showing “opposing†perspectives on the Holocaust.

#Southlake #Texas #Bullying
Please speak a little slower.
Perfect. We need this.
God has no mercy for thieves or liars. Stolen land is being destroyed right now by nature, and lies are being corrected against the wishes of the corrupt.The day of picking on people without consequence is over!ðŸ¥ÂÂ
Too bad they cut him off. Articulate, honest and accurate. A leader for the future. If u are smart Southlake, pay attention.
The other, and real side, is this was all not true and if you knew real history you'd know that. Why would they work so hard to make it illegal to even question it? Here's a fun fact for you: The population of them went UP after the war than before.
“Sure guyâ€ÂÂ.
Dude, you aren't even a Semite. You are Ashkenazi. Stop it.
I guess some people in TX believe that if you're going to teach in school that Nazi Germany killed millions of Jews during the Holocaust in Europe during WWII in brutal ways like gas chambers, then you also have to teach the alternative viewpoint that maybe millions of Jews just tripped and fell down.
Just as how there's not two sides to the Holocaust, there's not two sides to the Jim Crow era and how racist southern White people at all levels, from the state government on down the line, treated black people during the 1950s to 1970s Civil Rights Movement.
He's speaking very fast and he's clearly nervous but bravo for him standing up. He must not be used to public speaking.
Couldn't the inference be made that Public Schools have been falling well short of even a minimum standard for a very long time now?
Well said! Very sorry to hear he had to experience this.
Wow he’s amazing Can he replace bill Maher when he dies or retires please
Israel is intentionally destroying America and needs severely punished
Good job to his school administrator for helping him these rich yt kids who love to bully and mob attack like it's the 1940s will get what's coming to them.
I don’t really care what people say about me or my culture…Sticks and stones crybaby
Great message. Dude needs to work on presentation big time 😬
Oy vey
Wow, Texas has fallen to a level that's very unappealing. We used to love vacationing in Texas down at the surf side beach but people can't just go to where they want to anymore for fear of being harrassed or shot where has our America gone that the children are being raised racists?
Everyone was bullied in middle school. Millennial snowflakes just got upset over words and consider that violence. I wish I had that. Mean words or whatever would have much been better than having to fight bullies. I never had the chance to cry over mean words from middle school meanies. That's the overprivileged mollycoddled Millennials now in their 30s.
Southlake is one of the more hard-core, conservative-right districts in the nation. I'm surprised some of the parents didn't wear their KKK hoods to these meetings. And they don't care, either. They know "they" are the majority, so "they" can do what they want — even if it's blatantly racist. They just don't give a sh*t about "the other side." They don't even want to hear it.
I never believe I could be this happy again until i met 👆on YouTube they helper me get $23,000 from my PayPal

I do agree in general that it is good to show opposing views for critical thinking but for the Holocaust it's inappropriate. However…for opposing views to Zionist politics then it is appropriate.
Matter fact even many Jews are Anti-Zionist.
Can somebody contact me here I am receiving the same thing but they are using the metric system to destroy my life and pump drugs in the me that I don't need I am tired of being assaulted in this manner no judge or lawyer would do anything to help them abused me
Big news flash- Kids are mean. Teach your kids to stick up for themselves- because no one is looking out for you, but you, and no one cares. Sad but true.
Southlake is where a bunch of super rich, ultra-elite people live. Why is anyone shocked that there is a high amount of bullying? That's what the Elites do.
edit: I also love how NBC puts this clip up for everyone to outrage over without surrounding context so that we can know exactly what the situation is. US media has turned into a bunch of click-baiting catfish.
I'm a white guy who grew up being bullied for years, especially in 5th and 6th grade. I was bullied by black, brown, and white kids. I learned the hard way that the world is a cruel place. That didn't stop me from standing up for myself, something a lot of people have not done. I didn't get into fist fights (thank God), so I fought back with words. When that didn't work, my parents and I got those kids in the principal's office. I don't know why they didn't get suspended. At the time, I would have enjoyed watching them get suspended for bullying me. In the end, as the years passed, you know what I did? Instead of finding ways to get even with them, I forgave them and moved on with my life. That's what this world lacks and has always lacked. Too many people throughout history have forsaken reasoning and forgiveness for grudge-holding and end up becoming the very things they hate. Forgive, but don't forget. Learn from your experiences and try to become a better person. That is the point of history. So humans can learn and avoid the same mistakes. That's what mankind, as a whole, should be doing.
People come to this country, to raise there children in peace. Judge them for how they live, Not from some distant past.
Okay. Maybe it happened, but it's more like 300,000.
His ancestors are cheering for him , as well as myself and many others , this was an ugly reality that cannot be forgotten.
LET'S GO BRANDON SALTYARMY2021
Get out of that school system as they are very bad people. You don't want to be there, it's evil.
Run and don't look back as these people are called evil spirits but God promises to get rid of all this evil and God promises we that love God will get to see all evil done away with. It is His promise.
Just because you’re Jewish doesn’t make you NOT white. The crt leaders see you like any other white person, but they can fool you into thinking that it’s everyone else, not you.
It’s sad that a 32 year old man refuses to let go of his past. He wants to be accepted for who he is, but the simple fact is that not everyone is going to like you.
The colorful logo lol. Why believe those who lie to themselves ?? "TRUTH-o-phobes", TRUTH doesn't require a script !!
This is race hustling at its finest. This whole racism narrative woe is me grift is so played out already nobody cares. Here's some real facts there were black and native American slave OWNERS in this country and there is 2 sides to every story. Kids get bullied unfortunately but getting bullied doesn't make you a martyr so get over it and yourself .
Toughen up nancy boy.
"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." – Master Yoda. "Let go of your hate." – Luke Skywalker
But there are two or more sides
Well said! Stand up to human rights.
Yawn. Who owned the slave ships Mr Berg. Interest rate. Jesus.
God forbid you grow a set of balls and act like a man!
Fishing for a golden ticket like Mark Zuckybergy
"Facts" yeah right. With the internet, people these days are finding out the truth about "certain historical events". And "they" are getting concerned and FRUSTRATED that they cannot keep shutting everything down because its like playing an endless game of Wack-a-mole for them. I love watching "them" get frustrated that they are losing narrative control.
So sorry, Jake, that you were bullied by classmates simply because you were born a Jew in a country that once fought for it’s independence and freedom of worship! What a crock of S@&T!! Our country, unfortunately, is full of liars and hypocrites who think that the only people who are worth anything are white Anglo Saxon Protestants. As a WASP myself, I’m ashamed that I even belong to such a hate-filled race of people who think themselves better than everyone else. Keep speaking out, Jake! There are lots of people like me who support and care about you!
GET OUT OF TEXAS THEN. This is Texas, not stupid California or New York. I dont want to see one of "them" around here.
Oh you're such a victim, im sooooo sorry for you. These "people" are always rich and privileged compared to everyone else. But still such victims that NEED so much sympathy.
Its alarming that this Lib Society that has infiltrated the Nations schools to teachings and Justification to Atrocities
YOU GO, BOY…!!!
