Marlon Anderson, who has been employed by the district for 11 years — eight at Madison East and three at West — told Madison365 in an interview Tuesday that he responded to a call of a disruptive student on Wednesday, October 9, and found Assistant Principal Jennifer Talarczyk escorting a student out of the building. Anderson said he attempted to intervene when the student pushed Talarczyk’s hand off his shoulder, at which point the student began calling him a series of profanities, including the n-word.
Anderson said he responded by saying a repeated combination of “Don’t call me that, don’t call me the n-word, and don’t call me n*****,” using the word.
Anderson said Talarczyk told him to “back off” and “tap out,” but that she did not address the student for using the word. Anderson said the student is also Black.
This is part of a zero tolerance. Somewhere I read the following analogy. One guy pushes a old lady in front of a bus. Another pushes an old lady away from a bus. Zero tolerance just sees 2 guys pushing an old lady. I like the way in the article the guard goes into how he approaches this subject. Interesting that Assistant Principal Jennifer Talarczyk, who decided that the guard was the bad guy here is white. I've seen a lot of stories of teachers getting in trouble for use of the N word in colleges even when it's related to the martial, such as dealing with poet James Baldwin.
Is it just me, or are school admins just idiots these days?
