n the video that was filmed by a student, neither teacher can be seen. “Stupid,” one teacher says. “You[’re] f- – – – n’ stupid,” the other teacher replies. “And you’re even more stupid [inaudible].” The other teacher responds, “Shut up! Shut up!” In a comment apparently directed at students, he adds, “He’s wrong.”
Two teachers at Whitney Young Magnet High School swore at each during a heated argument in front of students after a white history teacher hung an African American doll from a cord in front of his classroom, apparently offending his Black colleague, according to videos and an email from the school’s principal.
"Unfortunately there was an incident in which a teacher hung a small stuffed African American football doll by a pull down string from a projector screen in their classroom," Kenner wrote. "The teacher indicated he found the doll in his room and wanted the students to see if someone would claim it. A colleague approached the teacher about the doll and the conversation between the teachers became contentious.
The other teacher responds, "Shut up! Shut up!" In a comment apparently directed at students, he adds, "He’s wrong." Kenner said the administration emailed staff Monday about what happened and also met with students Tuesday morning and "discussed the incident in length. We gave students an opportunity to voice any concerns and recommendations they had."
