Video shows a white teacher singing a birthday song to her 6-year-old pupil, referring to him as black m0nkey who lives in the zøo.

The X post shares a 44-second classroom video from Floral Avenue Elementary in Bartow, Florida, where a white teacher sings a modified "Happy Birthday" song to 6-year-old Black student Legend, including lyrics "You live in the zoo, you look like a monkey, and you smell like one too," prompting widespread condemnation for racial insensitivity.

Polk County Public Schools confirmed awareness of the October 1, 2025, incident and is reviewing it, while the boy's mother, Desarae, demands a formal apology,
emphasizing the emotional harm to her son whose confused expression during the song underscores the impact on young children.

Replies to the post reflect broader discussions on anti-Black racism in education and intra-community tensions, with over 15,000 views amplifying calls for accountability amid debates on whether the lyrics were intended as harmless rhyme or veiled prejudice.

Whites have big ears like munkees.
White are hairier in the facen generally like munkees
Genetically more similar.
Value animal right but deny supposedly animal their hunan right.

Watch how some Nairalanders would support the teacher

This is appalling and not just the teacher, but the school ought to be sure by the boys parents.

White people are simply savage animals pretending to be human. But RACISM brings out the most base animal instincts and carnivorous animal behaviors lying to deeply buried within them.

Doesn't the school or teacher have names? I saw something like this where an AI voice over was used but the original video audio was released which showed that something very different was actually said.

The funny things is, among us the black race we call ourselves demeaning names such as 'monkey', 'ugly' and 'blacky', but will be quick to condemn white people when they do the same.

The Teacher is most likely to get a JUICY appointment from the White House.

Those who want to travel out "for the sake of their kids" should take note
