Racial Slur Incidents Lead to Teacher Resignation and Student Suspensions

A teacher at Glendale High School in Springfield, Missouri, who repeatedly used a racial slur in class, has resigned following the incident. The school district has not disclosed any specifics regarding student discipline related to a video recording of the incident, citing federal law on confidentiality. The student handbook outlines consequences for inappropriate use of electronic devices, and any consequences applied would consider if minors are identifiable in the recording and what hardships are endured by other students due to a violation of privacy with the dissemination of the video.
