A Texas elementary school teacher has been placed on leave after she reportedly sent a ‘joke’ photo of her foot on a Black student’s neck to the child’s mother.
The Greenville Independent School District (GISD) is investigating the incident after the disturbing image was posted to social media. The photo was reportedly taken at Lamar Elementary, on the same day former Minneapolis officer
Derek Chauvin was found guilty in the murder of
George Floyd after kneeling on his neck during an arrest for nearly ten minutes until he died.
The teacher texted the picture to the 10-year-old boy’s mother, who told local reporters that the photo was a “joke” about a discussion over a permission slip. Apparently, the teacher told the student to return an assignment or she would put a foot on his neck.
Wednesday morning Greenville Independent School District sent an apology letter to parents after a picture surfaced on social media of a teacher with her foot on a Black student’s neck. The student’s mother said it was a ‘joke,’ wasn’t offended, and wants the teacher to keep her job; other family members feel different.
Liggins said he learned about the photo Tuesday night during a school board meeting and immediately had someone reach out to the family to make sure the child was okay.
“Our community embraces diversity and we celebrate our differences here and we take the safety and dignity and respect of our students and staff very seriously. So to have something like this occur, although I do not have all the details for it since it’s under investigation, there’s no excuse for it, Liggins said.
