Docente impide a alumna que amamante a su bebé durante la clase

La estudiante Marcella Mares de la escuela Fresno City Collage en California dió a conocer que durante sus clases online apagaba la cámara y su micrófono para poder amamantar a su bebé de meses, sin embargo esto no le pareció a uno de sus profesores, el cual le pidió que no tenía permitido amamantar a su bebé mientras estaba en clase.

“Me alegra saber que puede tener la cámara y el micrófono encendidos, pero no amamante a su hija durante la clase porque no es lo que debería hacer. Hazlo en tu tiempo libre”, fue la respuesta del docente.

Fue tal la molestia de sus compañeros que metieron presión para que la escuela tomara cartas en el asunto ya que no molestaba esa acción a ningún compañero si no todo lo contrario, demostraba el interés de la alumna que pese a las dificultades y estar al pendiente de su bebé siempre se encontraba en las clases online.

La presión llegó a tal grado que el docente se disculpó frente a todo el grupo, en especial con su alumna.

“Lamento las molestias con respecto a su intención de amamantar a su bebé. De ahora en adelante, tiene derecho a amamantar a su bebé en cualquier momento durante la clase”.

I never write long posts but this is a good one! • • • I didn’t want to post this picture because I just wanted it for me but I just wanted to show that I CAN focus in class WHILE breastfeeding my child. My professor changed the requirements for class & said we needed to have our camera & microphone on in order to receive credit for the attendance part of class. I told him I obviously don’t have a problem with having my camera & microphone on but I might need to turn them off to feed my daughter from time to time. His response was “that’s not what you should be doing during class. Do that on your own time.” I didn’t respond & went to class about a half hour later. The first thing he says to the whole class in our zoom meeting was “I got this really weird email from a student stating she needed to do inappropriate things during lecture time. You guys need to understand that you have priorities now and you need to put all those distractions aside or be creative when your child needs you and give your full attention in my class.” If you know me, you know how pissed this made me. It was one thing to send the email telling me what I can and can’t do in my house with my child. But it’s a whole other thing when he announced a “weird” email was received about “inappropriate” things. I felt so unmotivated during class I was so hurt that an actual human said these things about me & my breastfed baby in public to other students. I was humiliated. Then I realized, he should be humiliated. He discriminated against me and many others when he said “put those distractions aside or be creative when your child needs you” like what the fuck?! This is a child we are talking about not our phones or TVs or any other THING. I am so so happy my cousin has helped me with taking action with this & got me in contact with some of her friends who got me in contact with people they know. I hope this man thinks before he decides to continue with his career, if he even has one anymore. Breastfeeding mamas &any mama that is trying to juggle school, work, & a child should be praised not put down & humiliated. I love my baby & would choose her health over anything or anyone, any day of any week!
