A Louisiana community is demanding the firing of an elementary school teacher over a derogatory Facebook.
Julie Colley is a tutor and the in-school suspension facilitator at a predominantly Black elementary school in Lafayette.
Collie used a racial slur in her comment on a post promoting a back-to-school giveaway on the city’s north side.
In response to the event’s scheduled time, Colley commented, “I’m not going at 6:30. Cameron St? That’s niggerville after dark lol.”
The Lafayette Parish School System released the following statement:
“LPSS is aware of this situation and is conducting a thorough investigation into the matter. Because this is a personal issue… No further information will be shared.”
Louisiana NAACP Political Action Committee Chairperson Nureaka Ross spoke with Roland Martin about this disturbing case during Wednesday’s edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered.u]i8ok

“You can leave freely, but we will find you, and we know who you are,” one man says, in video captured by journalist Matt Masters.
“You’ll never be allowed in public again,” another man says, as a crowd nearby chants, “Will not comply!” and “No more masks!” [https://bit.ly/2VStGpR]
