Chicago Public Schools is sending all teachers at Medgar Evers Elementary to sensitivity training because one teacher may have called students stupid during recess.

The fourth-grade teacher allegedly said the words “ignorant” and “stupid” near a group of students after a ball she gave them was kicked under a car, according to DNAinfo Chicago.

Some students reported the incident, but parents say different students reported different versions of events.

Necole Reid, a parent of a student in the class and president of the school council, said her son told her that although the teacher did say the words “ignorant” and “stupid,” she didn’t direct them at the students.

But other parents were very offended by the incident, with some saying her comments were not only insensitive but also “racist.”

“What she said was wrong and racist,” said Eugene Kimmons, “I had my daughter transferred to another class because I don’t want my daughter to be degraded anymore.”

It is not known how long the training will last or whether it will continue in future years. Chicago Public Schools did not respond to requests for answers to these questions.
