From Fark:
Teacher insults child with racist comment. Mother complains to principal. What happens next? a) teacher suspended b) teacher fired c) child expelled because of mom's complaint
Hmmm...the answer is..................
I'll take asinine for the win Alex.
"Sit your nappy-headed self down."
This was the comment that Brea Persley, a 13-year-old student at Century Academy For Excellence in Inglewood, Calif., received from teacher Kelly Dempsey last week in front of the entire classroom.
"When the kids started laughing, it brought back the memories of when I was in 4th grade and kids used to laugh at me and tease me," Persley said to KTLA in an exclusive video interview. KTLA footage of the school indicates that Dempsey is a white woman.
But it was the charter school's response to the teacher's actions that stunned Shronda Williams, Persley's mother, more than the alleged insensitive remark. According to Williams, principal Giselle Edman, who is African-American, shifted the blame onto Persley, saying, "Bad things need to happen to mean kids."
Persley later received an expulsion letter, citing her mother's scolding of the principal as the reason she was banned from school.
