'Turn The N-Word Tunes Off': Said White Teacher To Students Listening To Tupac

In Trump's America, have you noticed that it seems like more and more teachers are having a hard time hiding their racism. THEY GIVES NO DAMNS ANYMORE!!!

Case in point: An Alabama teacher has recently come under fire for making some pretty racist AF remarks towards her Black students.

According to AL.com, a white Hoover High school teacher was placed on paid leave for allegedly telling students who were playing old Tupac music to “turn the n***** tunes off.”

Yeah, she tried it. 

Shenita Morrow, a mother of a Black student who heard the alleged slur told AL.com that her child's teacher got annoyed when the class was playing Tupac's  “Dear Mama,” while working on a project during class. Apparently, the teens were usually allowed to play music during class, but this day, Teddie Butcher, the food and nutrition instructor, had an issue with the music selection.

Morrow said she was told the issue the teacher had was that the music had “foul language" in it. But Morrow was clear: There were no bad words in this song.

There are only two references to drug use, but none of it is inappropriate or glorifies it. Hear it for yourself...this song is actually pretty positive and is Tupac's love letter to his mother. 

But even if that wasn't the case...IN WHAT WORLD DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO CALL IT N-WORD MUSIC IN FRONT OF A ROOM OF BLACK CHILDREN???

Morrow says that the teacher didn't really think what she said was a big deal at first. 

“After meeting with her, it’s just baffling to me how someone does not understand the severity of the weight of that word,” Morrow added.

It's 2018, that woman understands the power of the n-word. She just doesn't care. 

The incident is currently under investigation by school officials who made the students delete video evidence of Butcher using the slur. Isn't that interesting?  

In the meantime, school officials confirmed that Butcher apologized to the class following the incident.

Like saying sorry is enough...THIS WOMAN NEEDS TO BE FIRED! OUR KIDS SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO THIS NONSENSE!

FAM: If a teacher said this in front of your child, what would you have done? Weigh in....
