High School Football Coach Who Called Player The N-Word Returns To Work As If Nothing Happened

The parents never received a “formal or informal” apology from the coach or anyone else at the school.

After calling one of his players the N-word, school officials allowed a North Carolina high school football coach, who is white, to return to work without a word to the student’s parents.

Desiree Emory, whose son was on the receiving end of the racial slur in October, decided to transfer her son from East Mecklenburg High School to another school to avoid coming in contact with the coach, WSOC-TV reported on Friday.

“I don’t want him to have to be at a school where he has to deal with a coach that has called him such a vicious and nasty word,” Emory said.

A Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools source confirmed to the news outlet that the coach used the racial slur. It happened in a fit of rage in front of the boy’s teammates during practice. School officials removed the coach right away. He was gone for about six months and suddenly returned to coaching weeks ago.

Kids are usually taught in school, from the earliest grades, to apologize for hurting others. It’s the right thing to do. But apparently this coach isn’t being held to that standard.

Neither Emory nor her son received a “formal or informal” apology from the coach or anyone else at the school before he came back to work. “There’s just never an excuse for any adult to use any type of language like that towards a child,” Emory said.

School district officials handled the matter without involving the infuriated mother. They’ve declined to discuss personnel matter with her.

“I’ve had enough,” Emory said. “You’re forced to have to see this man every day and you expect my child to be OK with it.” She’s not having it.

On April 29, Jennifer Schulte made internet history when she decided to call the police on Black people at a barbecue.  She will now and forever be known as BBQ Becky, a nickname which led to some of the best memes of 2018.

However, the police did not come — she claims she waited two hours. In the 911 call, the dispatcher says, “Are you living in the park or something? Why can’t you separate yourself?” Schulte also refused to give out her race, although she willingly disclosed the race of the people she called the cops on, saying repeatedly, “My race doesn’t matter!” The dispatcher says her race matters and asks if she has ever been to a mental facility. BBQ Becky said she was being followed, but you can repeatedly hear Michelle Snider, the woman who filmed the video, demanding BBQ Becky return her husband’s business card, which she denied having on the call (though she clearly had in the card in the video).  See the video below: https://youtu.be/7jxfgcDzjoQ Twitter had a field day with BBQ Becky.
