School Backflips After Deeming Teacher’s Anti-Asian Slurs Harmless
A Wisconsin teacher who allegedly used racist and homophobic language toward a high school student has resigned after a damning independent investigation overturned a previous review that dismissed the instructor’s behavior as harmless.
The communications and marketing coordinator for Wausau District Schools confirmed in a press release to The Daily Beast Tuesday that Wausau East High School Band Director Rob Perkins submitted his resignation, which was accepted by the school board Monday night.
“The search for Mr. Perkins’ replacement will begin right away. No other information will be released at this time,” the statement read.
