Texas School District fires substitute teacher after using racial slur in front of elementary students
A Texas school district fired a substitute teacher after other teachers say he used the n-word in front of elementary school students according to FOX 4. Arlington ISD says the incident took place last week at Swift Elementary in Arlington.
The teacher says she walked into the substitute’s classroom and asked what happened. The teacher’s account is the same as the one relayed to the mom.
“One of the kids in the class blurted out ‘Oh My God!’ And he replied, ‘Don’t say that.’ And they were like, ‘Why can’t we say oh my God?’ And he said, ‘That’s using Jesus’ name in vain,’” the mom said.
They also said when the substitute told the kids, “It would be like me saying the n-word.”
The teacher who stepped in the incident says after hearing from the students, she approached the substitute who she said then added, “yes I said n***er, and I’ll say it again.”
“That’s not a comparison, and it just shows the state of mind that he’s in,” the mom said. “And that’s not the type of person that I want teaching my child.”
Arlington ISD says the teacher was also working again at Swift Elementary on Monday. The district says it received a complaint from a parent via email Monday and has opened an investigation.
In a statement, the district says it “confirmed that inappropriate language was used, and the substitute was terminated. The district does not condone the use of any offensive, derogatory or inappropriate language in educational learning environments.”
