Racial Slur Incidents in Missouri and Michigan Schools Lead to Consequences.

A high school student in Missouri was suspended for three days after recording her teacher using a racial slur in class. The student's lawyer and mother are demanding that the district apologize and expunge the suspension from her record. The teacher is no longer employed with the school system. The student was suspended under a policy that prohibits students from recording faculty members unless they get consent. The incident occurred on May 9 in a geometry class at Glendale High School in Springfield.
