A substitute teacher in Chicago won’t be returning any time soon after students accused her of repeatedly calling them the N-word during a lecture on the Cold War.
Four middle-school students at Jay Stream School say they were working on a social studies project when a substitute teacher first asked them about the Emancipation Proclamation. The teacher then referred to the students as ‘African-American,’ noting it was the politically correct term for Black people. When the students, who are Caribbean, asked not to be referred to as African-American, the students allege the teacher then started repeatedly calling them the N-word.
