A California teacher is under fire after being filmed repeatedly using the N-word during a class lesson and allegedly trying to “force” a student into saying the slur.
The unidentified language arts teacher at Sequoia Middle School—part of the Fontana Unified School District—was in the middle of a discussion about a Mark Twain novel when the word was first mentioned, with a student asking how to spell it, ABC 7 Los Angeles reported.
A Black student, who wishes to remain anonymous, happened to record the debacle as it unfolded.
