“This decision sends a strong message that using racist, sexist, and homophobic slurs are permissible, so long as they made are in good faith, and that is just unacceptable to us,' said an open letter signed by Asian American leaders in Wausau, Wisconsin.
Members of the Asian American community in Wausau, Wisconsin, are outraged that the school district has put a teacher it admits used racist and sexist language back in the classroom.
An open letter signed by Asian American leaders in Wausau—which is 81 percent white according to census data, but has a large Hmong-Lao population—said they were outraged by the reinstatement of high school band teacher Robert Perkins. It then went on to say, somewhat confusingly, that while Perkins does say things that causes students “unease,” the students also believe he creates a “safe space” and “does not meant to harm anyone.”
