A white secretary at a Louisiana school abruptly resigned from her position late last week after making racist comments about Martin Luther King Jr. Day in a text conversation with a coach.
In a Monday Facebook post, self-described artist-activist-organizer Walter Geno McLaughlin shared a video that included an image of Nelwyn Fontana, the office secretary at Ouachita Parish Junior High School, along with a screenshot of the alleged text messages, which referred to “n****r day.”
“Nelwyn Fontana is office secretary at Ouachita Jr High in Monroe, LA and took time on this #MLKDay to let us know how she really feels about honoring Dr. King,” McLaughlin wrote in the post. “What she didn’t realize is that she accidentally sent her hate filled message to the wrong person.” In the screenshot of the message, Fontana informed the coach about the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.“Huh ? Say what? Where that come from,” the other person responded.
