That may be, but the article doesn't say all that. It doesn't state what expletives were used.
My apologies. My facts are accurate, but you couldn't know that since I googled the teacher's name and came up with other articles which add additional information.
Caroline Lee, 60, was arrested Friday on accusations she hit a student in her classroom
people.com
The student "stated she grabbed her nose because it started bleeding after she was struck," the report states.
The student said "Lee then began repeatedly calling her a 'f****** b****' as she landed several more strikes on the top of head." The student "stated she began trying to hold both of Lee's arms to keep from being struck and Lee kicked her on her lower leg."
OP's article does mention
Of Mice and Men and so do all the rest I found.
It also doesn't state if any complaints were made about the original use of an expletive.
The student said online that the slur had occurred the previous year.
Before the school nominated her for teacher of the year. I highly doubt anyone reported anything to the administration. The likely conclusion is that there was no reason to report it, and that the student purposefully omitted the context of the slur to tar the teacher with racism. Which either plausibly supplies a motive for the assault, or else undermines the student's credibility in reference to the assault. One or the other.
The article specifically states Lee was arrested due to video evidence and physical injuries on the student.
Which I have not disputed. Video evidence and the guidance counselor confirm she had a bloody nose shortly after the conversation. The question being, where did she get the injuries. Very possibly the teacher assaulted her, but I'd like to see if the video shows her emerging directly from the room with the injuries.
You claimed nobody read the article, which is why I responded.
At the time I posted that, there was zero evidence that anyone had. I doubt the OP had even read it thoroughly. To assume the teacher was racist when her explanation of the context of the slur makes sense and isn't likely to be false suggests he wasn't paying much attention. She is an English teacher who is evidently well regarded by the bulk of her students. So she either read a quote from a literary book containing the word, or she suddenly used it inappropriately in class. After having been a teacher for about 35 years. You be the judge.
I didnt search for any other information, but maybe you did.
Your hunch is correct. I tend to do that when I feel there is missing information. Often each article you read supplies another fact or two. I do usually remember to post the additional links though.
