The St. Charles County branch of the NAACP and several parents are calling for change after five teachers were pictured on social media holding up a racial slur.
"I'm angry, I'm hurt because I trust you with my child," said one parent with a child in the Christian School District.
It started as a game of human Scrabble. The photo shows faculty from the Christian School District rearranging letters to form the word "coons." Someone then posted it to social media, parents said it was even on the school district's website. However, Principal Jake Ibbetson told 5 On Your Side Wednesday that wasn't the case. He said the photo was never posted to the school's website or any of the school's social media accounts.
"They were running around trying to spell raccoon, but they didn't have the R and the A," said Pastor Raymond Horry who has two children enrolled in the district. "I don't believe it that five Caucasian teachers, not one of them knew that. Maybe one didn't know it, maybe two didn't know it, but all 5 didn't know it?"

People are so stupid these days. Who says I”I’m going raccoon hunting”. Coon is a legit word.

I am competitive. I like to win. Is that the only word those letters form?
My cousin played masturbate as a word in a game in front of my grandma. Win at all costs man.

I've legitimately never heard anyone use this word as a racial slur before.

It’s a valid scrabble word.

I have never heard coons used as a slur.
I get that it is. But it's so far outside of normal it doesn't matter.

This is known as bearing false witness against your neighbor

All Biden voters too, probably.

An old man who lived near where I grew-up used it constantly as a racial slur. I'm as conservative as it gets but damn, these ladies exercised horribly bad judgment, here. It's all about the optics sometimes, and this is not a good look for the school.

I don't know what's worse, the fact someone is upset about this, or the fact this has become an actual "news" story.

That's unfortunate. Not everything is racist, but folks like these teachers sure don't help matters.

People who say this are usually those with very thin skins.
The "optics" are bad only because people are pussies and get offended when they can.

There isn’t a black kid in America that would know coon could be a slur unless they were told to look out for it in Offended Bingo
What is it? fricking 1946...lol
