Woke NYC fifth graders pantomime getting shot by cops in outrageous dance routine

You’d expect to find this at a private UWS indoctrination center because of course you would, but this particular training center is run by the state using public funds. How many of these are being operated across our country? You’d have to ask Randi Weingarten that, but I’d estimate there are tens of thousands of them.

Fifth-graders at a woke Upper West Side elementary school pantomimed getting shot by police during a pupil performance, shocking some parents and educators, and outraging cops.

The students at PS 075 on West 95th Street also hoisted radical left-wing signs during the caught-on-camera June 11 Multicultural Day event.

To mark the day, students from each grade staged a performance in the auditorium dedicated to a different cultural group. After fourth-graders recited Native American poetry, the fifth-graders took the stage.

The 10- and 11-year-olds danced to “Glory” by John Legend and rapper Common, with lyrics about Ferguson, Mo., where white police officer Darren Wilson fatally shot black teen Michael Brown after he allegedly tried to wrest the cop’s weapon from him. 

The incident sparked nationwide Black Lives Matter protests.

“That’s why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up/When it go down we woman and man up/They say, ‘Stay down,’ and we stand up/Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up,” blared the speakers.

In unison, the students collapsed to the stage staring straight up at the ceiling as if they too had been shot, a video obtained by The Post showed.

Later, when the song reached its chorus, the students went down on one knee, apparently mimicking former San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who made the gesture infamous when he protested during the national anthem before NFL games in 2016.

At the end of the performance, students rushed the stage carrying signs proclaiming “ICE Out,” “Respect LGBTQIA+,” and “Terrorism has no religion.” One placard said “No place for antisemitism.”

“This is beyond inappropriate; it’s outrageous. Having fifth graders pretend to be shot by police is not education; it’s political indoctrination and exploitation of children,” an NYPD officer told The Post. “Parents should be demanding answers as to who approved this. F–king insane!”

Some educators at the school are brainwashing their students in their woke ideologies, a school insider said.

“There are specific teachers at PS 075 who are persistently working to inculcate our students,” the insider said.

Teacher Shahreen Karim was behind the performance, according to the school insider. She arrived at the school in 2012 and heads the multicultural committee.

During Multicultural Day in 2024, Karim had students perform “The Dabke Dance,” a Palestinian folk dance that critics say has come to be associated with terrorism, with participants stomping on the floor to symbolize stomping out the state of Israel.

Principal George Georgilakis, who made $195,401 in 2025, is all in on the hyper-woke policies, the source said.

“He supports all of this insanity,” the source said.

But wait, there’s more, as you knew there would be:

PS 075 also hosts a “Rainbow Room” for LGBTQ+ content — which can be accessed without parental consent for kids in K through fifth grade; has an all-gender bathroom where boys routinely harass girls; and held a book reading about transgenderism for 7-year-olds, parents and critics said.
