According to KVUE, a Texas Teacher from the Pflugerville ISD was suspended last week! He was caught on camera telling a group of black students in his class that his race is "the superior one."As of now, this teacher has been put on administrative leave because of an "inappropriate conversation" and according to the article is no longer employed by the school district. 

The school district's Human Resources office issued this statement: "Pflugerville ISD and Bohls MS work together to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for our students. The advisory activity was inappropriate, inaccurate, and unacceptable. This type of interaction will not be tolerated in PfISD schools."

A letter was sent to parents within the school district, saying this video is an example of the district encouraging students to be self-advocates for and to "see something, say something." It also said that counselors were on hand for students affected by the teacher's comments.

Here is the letter that was sent to parents obtained by KXAN, stating that the “interaction does not align with our core beliefs as a district. The video of the conversation includes statements that we find wholly inappropriate.”

Letter to Bohls Middle School families

The full letter is listed below.

Dear Bohls Middle School families,

We are aware of an inappropriate conversation a teacher at Bohls Middle School had with students this week during an advisory class. This interaction does not align with our core beliefs as a district. The video of the conversation includes statements that we find wholly inappropriate. The teacher has been placed on administrative leave while Human Resources conducts an investigation.

Pflugerville ISD and Bohls MS work together to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for our students. The advisory activity was inappropriate, inaccurate, and unacceptable. This type of interaction will not be tolerated in PfISD schools.

Staff checked in with students today. Our counselors and administrators are always available if your student wants to discuss this situation further.

We always do our best to ensure the safety of all students; we encourage them to be self-advocates and let an adult know when something is wrong, as they did in this situation; this could be to a parent, a teacher, or a counselor. If you see something, say something.

We apologize for any undue stress or concern this has caused. As always, we appreciate the support of our families and community. If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact me at 512-594-3200.

 

Dr. Sharon Churchin, Principal
