Chemistry teacher repeatedly uses N-word as students beg him to stop

A Tennessee student recorded her chemistry teacher using a racial slur multiple times in class.

Hero Lawson told WVLT-TV that she used her phone to record the teacher, who the station did not identify, after he used the N-word in class Monday and tried to justify it.

“He said it the first time, and bam -- we were on him,” Lawson said.

The South-Doyle High School teacher told the class he could use the word if he was repeating what students were saying, adding the slur was part of the English language.
