Tracy Morgan is facing backlash after comments he made about teachers during a Variety and CNN "Actors on Actors" interview with fellow comedian Marcello Hernández. During the conversation, Hernández joked about getting in trouble for talking too much in school. Morgan responded by suggesting teachers didn't understand Hernández's sense of humor and then remarked that teachers are still "making minimum wage." He went on to say he "can't stand teachers" because they have a "ceiling" and a limit to what they can become, contrasting that with the message he gives his own children that "the sky's the limit." While Hernández appeared surprised and laughed through the exchange, the comments quickly sparked criticism online after a clip was shared on social media. Many users defended teachers, arguing that educators play a vital role in helping students develop their talents and succeed.
