Prince George’s Co. schools says it can’t fire employee in racial slur video Prince George’s County Public Schools officials say they can’t fire an employee caught on video admitting to using a racial slur because the woman is a union employee. A viral video posted to Facebook Nov. 12 showed the encounter in a La Plata Walmart parking lot. The Heavy was kind enough to name Darlene Sale a contracted librarian. |
| News flash, most old white people think that is the name for black people. Most just dont say it anymore. |

Wtf. You can’t fire union employees?
Then that’s when the union needs to step in and terminate her membership so that she can be fired. |
Never going to happen, if they did they would lose all their credibility. While most people would not endorse nasty & hateful speech, allowing someone to be fired for a nasty parking lot interaction off hours and away from work would undercut all employee protections. Should black people be fired every time they use snowflake, cracker or honky off duty? Of course not so let’s not make all nasty exchanges a captial offense. I can only assume the father was pretty nasty too before she lost cool and her class. She will be humiliated, that is more than enough for yelling at someone during a parking lot fight. |
| I am ok with her not being fired I just hope she doesn’t have students, it would be tough for those little kids to understand that even their teacher thinks that they are less than human. |
|
It is disgraceful but I agree that there is no way that she could be fired for that since it wasn't on school property and not during work hours.
She is a bargaining unit employee. |
| If every white person was fired who looked down on black people there would quite a few job openings in this country at every level all the way up |
| I saw on nbc4 that she is retiring. She should no longer interact with children. |
| Interesting.. in an 81% black school and is a full on racist |
|
The union can’t just terminate her membership. That’s not how unions work.
If she can’t be fired she should be reassigned to a position that’s not student-facing. I hope PGCPS takes this seriously. |
She did way more than look down on a black person. |
This isn't necessarily true. |
It was a nasty parking lot exchange. People get ugly during those and behave in a classless manner all the time. I have seen people cussing in church parking lots dressed in their best. Humans are strange That said she has more than paid a fair price for a moment of ugly |
Anyone who uses the n word in a moment of ugly has really racist thoughts. I’ve said things I’ve regretted when angry but never any racist slurs. |

She retired. Won't stop her racism, but at least she isn't working with children.
