A nine-minute rant by two teachers in Kentucky’s Jefferson County School District has both teachers reassigned while an investigation is ongoing. A video that has been shared on Facebook shows, two teachers  — a white man and white woman cursing at students at Carrithers Middle School according to The Louisville Courier-Journal.  One of teachers used the N-word at least twice.

“If you’re recording me, I don’t care because I’m tired of it,” the male teacher says in the video.

“I get cussed out 40 times a day, I’m tired of this s— too. Like what if you all were us, and you had some bad a– little kids come up to you and say ‘F— you, b—-?’” he asked. “Or, you get called a n—– or a cracker.”

While the student seemed shocked he told them, “Don’t turn around and look around like that’s something f—— new, because it’s not. I get called a n—– every day, multiple times a day — with a hard ‘R.’”

Later in the video, the other teacher, who isn’t seen in the video but only heard, says she is tired of being told that students are misbehaving because of “COVID and trauma.” She goes on to say, “I’m all for being nice and having fun but when you all starting treating me like s—, it’s going to be the same way.”

She then says, “Someone explain to me what would happen if you acted some of the ways your classmates act if they were stopped by the police. Do you think a cop is going to be like, ‘Oh my God, we’ll give you another chance. Honey, just go home to mommy.’ No, they’re going to have you down on the ground — no matter your color, so let’s not even use that excuse. I’m getting tired of that too. Being a human is color blind.”

According to The Courier-Journal, the video was taken last week, and the principal sent an email to the school community the same day.

“It came to our attention that an audio recording has surfaced involving two teachers at our school,” Principal Denise Franklin-Williams wrote. “Its contents include teachers using inappropriate language and racially insensitive language. We are taking this matter seriously. I want to assure you that we will be reviewing this matter, and we will be following JCPS policies and procedures in that process.”

The teachers rant allegedly took place after one student, who is Black, threw a book. He is reportedly seen leaving the classroom.

Cheri Allen, whose daughter reportedly captured the now-viral video, says her heart is “broken” after the incident.

“You don’t get to group my child in with others and talk derogatory or belittle them because your day isn’t going well,” Allen posted on Facebook with the video. “You as an educator, you chose this profession, so you need to figure out a better method or use a more professional vocabulary, but you don’t get to introduce my child to inappropriate behavior and vulgarity.”
