CHARLOTTE – A verbal exchange between a substitute teacher and a student was caught on camera Monday at South Mecklenburg High School.

In the footage, the teacher can be heard saying, “Go back to where you speak Spanish, if you don't want to speak English, okay... I'm racist, right."

The school’s principal, Dr. Maureen Furr, issued a statement saying “CMS leadership has been made aware and the entire situation is under review. At South we seek to create a safe and respectful environment for students and staff and promote respectful interaction for all. We take accusations of bias seriously and this individual will no longer be working at our school.”

The teacher has not been identified by CMS.
