I got written up

Edited. Thank you for all your support and ideas. Here’s an update. I called in sick today to get all my ducks in a row. I first called HR and submitted my written rebuttal. I was on fire with my rebuttal. I CC’d my response to my principal. I told HR that I would NOT be signing my write up. Ever. I then reached out to Uniform Compliant stating that I felt this write up was in retaliation. Period. I then reached out to Title IX and filed a complaint for allowing racial slurs. I called my union and spoke with a union rep. I also filed a complaint with OCR. I am in the process of filing with Dept of Education. Who knows what the outcome will be. I will NEVER allow my black students to feel less than. Ever. HR contacted me with a weak response and they wanted to set up a meeting. I had the balls to ask them if this meeting was going to be me defending myself or to address the bigger issue. They told me they would like to “review” the principals write up with me. So I told them I won’t be attending a meeting. Period. I did send an email documenting every where I filed a complaint. I figure I’m in year 26 and if I’m going out I’m going out with flames. Probably will fired but at least I stood up for those students.

It finally happened after years of teaching I got written up. I teach 3rd grade. This particular student is a handful and likes to blurt out racist names. She kept calling three other students “Black African Monkeys” I sent her to my co teachers class to write a “fix it behavior note”. Mom got wind of this and went to the principal. The principal called me in and backed the mom. The mom is known in our school for ranting and raving about everything. I was written up for “falsely accusing a student of racial slurs”. He has no backbone with parents. I’m so done with this job.
