Maestro Prohibió A Alumna Amamantar A Su Bendición Durante Clase Virtual

Debido a la pandemia por COVID-19 que ha generado el cierre temporal de las escuelas para tomar clases en línea, con el fin de evitar la propagación del virus, sin embargo, a pesar de tomar clase desde la comodidad de tu hogar,  esto no ha sido del todo positivo; tal es el caso de un profesor de Fresno City Collage quien le prohibió a una de sus alumnas amamantar a su creatura durante clase virtual.

La universitaria se llama Marissa Mares quien también es madre primeriza, afirmó que se sintió humillada luego de que su maestro le prohibiera alimentar a su bebé.

A través de su cuenta de instagram comentó que el profesor envió un email donde señalaba las nuevas reglas para los estudiantes, entre las que destacaba que todos debían tener su cámara y micrófono activados durante la sesión.

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!

Ante esto, Marissa respondió el correo, diciéndole al maestro que no tenía problemas con las reglas, sin embargo, en determinado momento debía apagarlos para poder alimentar a la bebita, pero el profesor no lo tomó a bien.

“Me alegra saber que puede tener la cámara y el micrófono encendidos, pero no amamante a su hija durante la clase porque eso no es lo que debe hacer. Sólo hazlo después de clase”, respondió el docente.

Posteriormente la joven afirmó que el maestro la exhibió frente a sus compañeros de clase por lo que se sintió humillada, por lo que decidió comunicarse con la coordinadora de su facultad para contarle lo ocurrido y a los pocos días el profesor se disculpó.

“Lamento las molestias con respecto a su intención de amamantar a su bebé. De ahora en Adelante, tiene derecho a alimentar a su hija en cualquier momento durante la clase”, escribió el docente en un correo.
