It's offensive, it's vile," Renada McFarland-Revels said.One of the viral incidents involves McFarland-Revels' daughter, Taraji Turner. McFarland-Revels says in early February, her daughter's history teacher used the N-word during class.McFarland-Revels detailed a chain of events on Facebook that led to her frustration with the school district. She says what hurt most was learning the teacher returned to the classroom without notification and without what she believed was proper discipline."I had to call them to find out and once I did, it wasn't the news that I was expecting. I expected it to be a little harsher of punishment," McFarland-Revels said.Turner says the moment caught her off guard."It made me feel uneasy because how could you just say a racial slur and get away with it like that especially as me being African-American he didn't care that it offended me or my classmates," Turner said.I called the district to speak with Superintendent Karen Pickles about the incident and was told someone would call me back. As of this report, I have not heard from them.A second incident, also shared on Facebook, involves another teacher accused of using a racial slur in class. That post spread quickly online and drew reaction from district leaders.School Board Member VeEtta Hagen says she received calls from upset parents about the incident."I had so many reports but the children I must commended, the children in the classroom. They were respectful, and they asked this lady not to say that they didn't want to hear it and she kept saying it," Hagen said.In a statement to parents and staff, Superintendent Dr. Karen Pickles called the language "unacceptable," saying it goes against the core values of the district. The district says it has launched formal investigations into both incidents and will take action based on the findings.Officials noted that because these are personnel matters, the law limits what details can be released.The next Madison County School Board meeting is Monday, March 2. Hagen says a venue change has been requested because a large crowd is expected.This story was reported on-air by a journalist and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.
