SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The mother of a sophomore at Glendale High School in Springfield, Missouri, is speaking out after her daughter was suspended from school for three days after she recorded a video on her cellphone in geometry class of a teacher repeatedly using a racial slur.
The 15-year-old student, who was identified to ABC News as Mary Walton by her mother, Kate Welborn, was informed of her suspension on Friday after the video was shared on social media and she is set to return to school on Wednesday.
The teacher, who has not been identified by the school district, was"initially placed on administrative leave" and is"no longer employed" by the Springfield Public School district in Missouri, Stephen Hall, chief communications director for Springfield Public Schools, told ABC News in a statement on Tuesday.
According to Hull, Mary shared the video with her mother and a friend, as well as one of the students in the video, but she said that Mary did not share the video on social media. She claimed that the school never asked Mary whether she shared the video on social media before she was informed of her suspension.
