A California teacher was placed on leave after video shows her mimicking Native American dance
A math teacher in Southern California has been placed on leave after videos posted online showed her wearing a headdress and mimicking a Native American dance during a lesson. The video appears to have been recorded by a student in Riverside, California, during a math lesson and posted on social media by another person. CNN has repeatedly attempted to contact the person that posted the videos online.
In the video, a teacher is seen wearing a headdress made of paper simulating feathers and dancing around the classroom while chanting “SohCahToa” — a mnemonic used to remember sine, cosine and tangent, which are the three main functions in trigonometry. At one point, the video shows the teacher making references to a “rock god” and “water goddess.”
