On public forum of Knox County Commission meeting today, Constance Every, Community Activist and an announced candidate for Mayor of Knoxville this year shared the audio of a South Doyle High teacher using a racist slur repeatedly during class. Knox County Schools Spokesperson Carly Harrington when asked for comment replied
A Knox County Schools employee has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into this matter. Because there is an investigation, we are unable to comment further at this time. KCS does not tolerate any instances of racism.
