A teacher in Missouri who was initially placed on administrative leave after a video circulating on social media showed them using the n-word at least twice in class “is no longer employed,” the Springfield Public Schools district said in a statement to CNN on Tuesday. On May 9, the principal of Glendale High School sent a letter to staff and families addressing the language used by the teacher, calling it “inappropriate” and “inexcusable.” “We are aware of a Glendale teacher using offensive, derogatory language during class today. A video of the comments is being circulated and we have received several calls from concerned parents,” Principal Josh Groves said in the letter. “I want you to know that the comments expressed in the video are inappropriate, inexcusable and do not meet the professional standards for Springfield Public Schools employees.” In the video obtained by CNN from a lawyer for the student who recorded the classroom incident, a student can be heard cautioning the teacher to stop saying the word saying, “As a teacher if you want to keep your job, this isn’t a threat … ” The teacher can then be heard saying, “I’m not calling anyone a (bleep). I can say the word.” A statement from the school district emailed to CNN Tuesday said the teacher “is no longer employed by Springfield Public Schools.” The teacher has not been identified by the district. “The teacher who was initially placed on administrative leave following the situation at Glendale High School is no longer employed by Springfield Public Schools,” the statement said. “We received a resignation from that teacher,” a Springfield Public Schools spokesperson said Tuesday. Mary Walton, “a sophomore at the Springfield Public Schools high school, took the video of her geometry teacher after he interrupted a conversation between students and talked about why he could not use a specific racial slur when people of color could do so without causing offense to each other,” family attorney Natalie Hull’s office said in a statement.
