A Florida teacher is under scrutiny after a viral TikTok video showed her singing a "monkey" birthday song to a Black elementary student, using lyrics likening the child to a monkey.
The incident, captured during a classroom celebration, prompted the boy’s mother to call the act a racial insult and sparked widespread criticism online, with many viewers noting the child’s discomfort.
While some defended the song as a familiar children’s rhyme from media like Madagascar, others stressed the racial implications of such language directed at a Black child.
