shot and killed black teen<\/a>\u00a0Michael Brown after he allegedly tried to seize the cop\u2019s firearm.<\/p>\nThe students collapsed to the ground in unison to these lyrics: \u201cThat\u2019s why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up\/When it go down we woman and man up\/They say, \u2018Stay down,\u2019 and we stand up\/Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up.\u201d <\/p>\n
Democratic Queens Councilmen Phil Wong and Republican Staten Island Councilman Frank Morano also called for the City Council Education Committee to probe woke indoctrination in Big Apple schools in light of the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Council\u2019s Education Committee should examine how political activism is making its way into our classrooms, because this kind of messaging only undermines respect for the brave men and women of law enforcement who keep our communities safe,\u201d said Wong, a member of that committee.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe classroom should be a place where children learn to read, write, think critically and respect one another, not where they\u2019re used as props to push a political agenda. Having 10- and 11-year-olds pretend to be shot by police is as offensive as it is irresponsible,\u201d Morano said. <\/p>\n
The head of the Police Benevolent Association \u2014 the country\u2019s largest police union representing over 21,000 NYPD officers \u2014 bashed the school for what it called brainwashing students to hate law enforcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe saddest part is that these kids might one day need help from a police officer, but they\u2019ve been pumped so full of hatred and fear that they\u2019ll hesitate to reach out. Anti-police indoctrination in our schools makes everyone less safe,\u201d PBA President Patrick Hendry said.<\/p>\n
Parents at the school were outraged and demanded accountability, and said that this event wasn\u2019t the first time teachers injected their virulent far left views into the classroom.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat made this especially concerning to me was the impact I saw on my own daughter. She came home expressing feelings of guilt about being white and adopting anti-ICE and anti-Trump views, even though discussions about ICE, immigration enforcement, or the president\u2019s policies were never part of our conversations at home,\u201d one enraged parent told The Post.<\/p>\n
