SMH: Ohio Teacher Told A 9-Year Old Student "At Least She Didn't Call You A N**ger" While Trying To Brush Off A 4th-Grader’s Offensive Comments!
A Columbus family is speaking out after a Muscogee County teacher allegedly used a racial slur towards their daughter.
Nathan Frazier and his wife Equisha say their 9-year-old daughter Harmonie was acting unusually quiet during a car ride home from school in early September when the Fraziers asked her what was wrong.
“She said another student said to her, she’s glad that she's not black. She's glad she's white and not black like them," said Nathan.
Harmonie, a fourth-grade student at Reese Road Elementary in Columbus, according to the Fraziers, explained she and two other students were having a discussion in P.E. class when the student allegedly made the offensive remarks.
Nathan said Harmonie and the two other students rotated back to their homeroom teacher’s classroom when one of the involved students told the teacher about the conversation.
“The thing that really really shocked me was when the teacher leans into the girls and she kind of caressed my daughter’s face and says ‘Oh you’re a beautiful girl, but at least she didn’t call you a dumb black and the ‘n’ word… When my daughter told me that I was completely shocked," said Nathan.
The Fraziers said once they learned about the alleged incidents they reached out to the school's principal and had a sit-down meeting addressing the allegations.
Nathan claims the principal explained the teacher did admit using the alleged racial slurs, but the Fraziers said they are concerned the alleged situation left a damaging imprint on the student’s views. Posted By Ghost
