A heated exchange between two teachers at a high school is being investigated after one of the teachers hung a Black doll from a cord in a classroom. It took place in front of students, and a picture of the incident circulated on social media.
On Wednesday, the school day ended at Whitney Young Magnet High School with a special listening session after the apparent racial incident.
According to a letter from the school’s principal Joyce Kenner to parents, a teacher hung a small stuffed African American football doll by a pull-down string from a projector screen in their classroom. The teacher indicated he found the doll in his room and wanted the students to see if someone would claim it.
Kenner said Chicago Public School officials have taken over the investigation of the incident and removed the history teacher.
