There were several comments on the internet condemning the teacher’s actions. The situation could have been handled better, according to many. There were several netizens who called for reprimands for Richmond High School teachers. A number of netizens wondered if the parents of the teen charged the educator with assaulting them. Following an altercation, students protested for the teacher to be fired. Student protests and walks out of class just before the fifth period were confirmed by teacher Lorenzo Morotti. Their flyers read: We tried to rid ourselves of racial slurs. Our patience was wearing thin. It was not right for him to take those actions, but it was also not right for the kid to take those actions. Black student union representatives provided statements to the Bay Area News Group. For their actions, they said both the teacher and the student should be expelled from the school.
No adult should be putting they hands on a child, especially on school grounds. but at the same time u cant expect to call somebody a slur n get away w it

In general, I like the rule that people shouldn't respond to words with physical violence. But that kid needed the lesson: Once you call a black person the N word, you have left the rules of polite society behind, and you need to be ready for consequences. Important lesson.
