School District Investigating After Buchholz High Teacher Uses Racial Slurs In Classroom



Only the head of the English teacher can be seen in the 12-second video captured and shared via Snapchat by a student who was in the classroom at F.W. Buchholz High School in Gainesville.

Robert Cecil, 56, who teaches the subject to ninth and 10th graders at the school, is seen and heard debating with the students about when it’s OK to use the N-word.

“If you’re black, and you say ‘n***a’, but you don’t say ‘n****r, ‘cause that’s like …” he says.

“We can say it,” an African American male student then interjects.

The teacher raises his voice so he can be heard above the clamoring.

“It’s a free country, freedom of speech, right?” Cecil asks.
