Why hasn't she been fired? She has been reassigned with no contact with students pending an investigation, but what is there to investigate? Its on tape. Not only is she racist, her hostility and disrespect to this student clearly demonstrate that she is unfit for the job.

(65,013 posts)That's a temporary status due to the union contract. She's history.
She's temporarily reassigned. She'll be permanently terminated. A parent objected, and there's a viral video.
She's toast as it clearly constitutes cause.
They'll come up with an excuse, (she was using it as a demonstration and teaching moment) but I don't see it flying.

I think that this teacher needs further education in her official job duties.
In a sense, shes right. As an individual citizen, she is free to hate blacks all she wants, she just cant do that or say that as an agent of the state, i.e. a public school teacher.
