University Academy, a Kansas City charter school, has fired a white history teacher who students say repeatedly used the N-word during class, sparking widespread outrage.
“You can like it, not like it, be upset about it all you like,” he said. “But ultimately this is a ridiculous conversation.” “The incident not only violated school policy, but also does not represent the standard of excellence we expect at the school. We are deeply saddened and sorry for the impact the incident has had on students, parents, alumni, staff and the community. The nature of the incident is contrary to the very mission for which the school was created.”
University Academy officials said in its latest letter to families that they hired Anthony McDaniel, of Gunn Mundorf, LLC, to conduct an independent investigation, as well as Nicole Price, a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultant. Officials also said that harassment and discrimination training will be mandatory and repeated in January and in the spring, plus administrators will complete culturally responsive leadership training. The superintendent will review the school’s mental health services for impacted students, as well as begin a search to hire a permanent counselor or social worker.
University Academy is a top-rated public charter school with about 1,100 students, 96% of which are students of color, and most are Black.
