A US high school is facing criticism after it suspended a student for recording her teacher using a racial slur in class.
Mary Walton, 15, filmed her teacher saying the n-word repeatedly on 9 May at Glendale High School in Springfield, Missouri.
Her family has since retained a lawyer and asked the school to apologise.
School officials said they believe the student was disciplined appropriately. The teacher who used the slur has quit.
As well as an apology, the young student and her mother, Kate Welborn, have asked the school to strike the suspension off her academic record, her lawyer Natalie Hull told the BBC.
The attorney argued that the suspension sends the wrong message to students.
"If you take a video of a teacher doing something wrong, then you yourself could also get in trouble," Ms Hull said.
The lawyer said that at the time of the incident students had been discussing the racial slur.

Just a little school/teacher story ... Yesterday was election day in PA. I went to vote at my local precinct which is at a school. It was ill timed, as a mass horde of teachers were leaving the school. I had though I waited for students to clear out, but had no idea about the teachers. I never saw such slovenly, childish looking teachers in my life. They dress like children, not adults. I guarantee that they act like overgrown teenagers when then are teaching. They have no respect for their students or themselves. It was pathetically unprofessional. Maybe that has something to do with what a terrible job they do and how teachers fail to gain the respect of students.
Maybe she was making the point that if you say this word...not a damn thing happens...but you lose your job.
Santa is no longer allowed to say Ho Ho Ho.
See the problem...a word is just a word.....unless it is aimed PERSONALLY at someone.
Perhaps I assume overmuch. But I doubt it.
I’ve been saying for a while....more male teachers might resolve 90% of our teaching/learning problems.
video cameras should be on in the classroom and all parents should have access to the bullshit that the lib/LGBTQ/communist indoctrinators are shoveling and how LITTLE ACTUAL TEACHING IS DONE.
They can also see how little Johnny and Jenny are acting like fools.
“Mary Walton, 15, filmed her teacher saying the n-word repeatedly Mary Walton, 15, filmed her teacher saying the n-word repeatedly...students had been discussing the racial slur.
So, it was a discussion about racial slurs. Sounds like a learning experience. Maybe the students set her up. Have the students who brought up the subject been tarred and feathered yet or are the little darlings protected?
Wonder how long it would take for the student to pass out on it’s first trip in a biker bar or a bar near the docks a ghetto bar.............
1. Get rid of the Department of Education est. 1979
2. Get rid of Degrees in Education.
All my secondary school teachers had Masters or PhDs in their chosen field. They knew their subject matter. Not today's teachers!
Now that you mention it. Almost all my male teachers wore ties, dress shirts, slacks, and polished shoes. The women always dressed conservatively. Seeing the slobs on tiktok of the blue haired freaks demonstrates the sorry state of affairs.
Why is here is a word that’s so toxic it can’t even be used in an example without triggering someone?
== =
Johnny. (oops, and Jenny), recite the 25 letters of the alphabet.
Maybe if the schools were still teaching American literature like Huckleberry Finn, the students wouldn't need to discuss "the n-word" out of context in a way that would get a teacher fired?
