Akiko Cooks, co-founder of the company that operates the page, said in A Interview She was “not surprised” to see the footage with local station Fox 5.

“He was very comfortable and bold enough to actually write that on the whiteboard for the students to see and send a very direct message to the students that it’s okay to be condescending and racially insensitive,” Cooks said.

“If those students hadn’t taken pictures, would their voices have been heard?” she asked.

As of Tuesday, April 11, Tippetts issued a statement to parents informing parents that the school administration has “launched an investigation into a matter involving racially motivated communication.”

“The administration will continue to communicate with you about these situations as it takes the entire Silvestri Junior High School community to condemn these actions,” the principal promised.

“We will not tolerate behavior that is contrary to an inclusive community and affects the interests of our students,” Tippetts wrote.
