Activist Elvin Speights posted the recordings on Facebook, prompting community leaders to condemn Bailey's remarks. Bailey has not responded to requests for comment. The recordings also reveal Bailey's opposition to discussions about sexuality in the classroom and her support for overhauling the district's health advisory committee. The controversy comes after the board voted to suspend Superintendent Eric Gallien, who has since sued the district for breach of contract.
