A Missouri high school teacher caught on video using a racial slur has resigned from the district, while the student who recorded the incident has completed her school suspension. Mary Walton, a sophomore at Glendale High School in Springfield, was suspended for three days for improper use of an electronic device. However, supporters argue that she was exercising her free speech rights and exposing a disturbing incident. The incident has sparked controversy over whether students should be allowed to record and document such incidents. The teacher has not been named, but he had been with the district since 2008. Glendale High School principal Josh Groves called the comments in the video inappropriate and not in line with the district’s professional standards. The district has declined to discuss specifics but maintains that it handled the situation appropriately. Critics argue that the district’s policy on electronic devices prevents students from documenting possible wrongdoing. Supporters are calling on the district to apologize to Walton and remove the suspension from her record. However, the district has not apologized and has no plans to remove the suspension.
