A Cincinnati teacher, suspended indefinitely without pay a week ago after making racially insensitive remarks, has not yet requested a hearing to contest the matter, and the head of the Cincinnati NAACP said Monday that he's very interested in the outcome.


In early December an African-American student told his science teacher, Gil Voigt of Fairfield Freshman School, that he would like to become president.


Voigt, who is white, is accused of telling him, "We do not need another black president."


The incident occurred Dec. 3, and other students present corroborated the student's version of events, according to a report from Assistant Superintendent Roger Martin of the Fairfield City School District north of Cincinnati, who conducted a disciplinary inquiry on the matter.


The 60-year-old teacher faces the prospect of dismissal for his remarks. He has not responded to repeated messages from The Cincinnati Enquirer seeking comment.


"I was extremely offended by his remark, and that is putting it mildly," said Ishton Morton, president of Cincinnati's NAACP chapter. "We are extremely interested in knowing what will happen to the teacher."


Other incidents from years ago, including another racist comment, should have been dealt with more aggressively.


But rules in the district's labor contract hampered such action, said Balena Shorter, Fairfield's only black school board member.

One of the biggest of which is Big Money. Just a heads up. Big Money is a troll. He's had multiple names through out the years but we generally call him "Legion Troll". My personal opinion is that he's best off being ignored. It's not good to feed the troll if you know what I mean?

but toying with him is sort of a guilty pleasure... I do feel like I need to take a bath after a round of back and forth with him, however.
 
Yes, they do. My children are gifted in math and currently attend a charter school because the teachers union is protecting some god awful teachers at their normal high school. But Kasich and others are making the situation worse rather than better with the attack on teachers here in Ohio. So I very clearly see and feel both sides of the issue.
 
....and actually I came here looking for some thoughtful conservatives. Any of a more conservative bent here that have actually graduated from the 5th grade?

precious few.... but slapping the fifth graders around is, as I said, a guilty pleasure.
 
Exactly. Nothing works perfectly in the real world....not unions, not the hiring process not the free market, not churches.....they pretty much hired an ignorant redneck.
 
You'll have to ask the Ohioan that applied the label, as far as that goes.

It appears the allegations have not been proven yet.
