“What you looking at, n-----?” this Dubuque Hempstead High school employee said to a Black student.
In a video from Dubuque Hempstead High School that spread across social media and was shared by NBC affiliate, a white male employee wearing a green shirt stares down a Black student standing across from him.
The employee, who has not been identified, apologizes to the Black student who happened to walk in front of him during the exchange and goes back to addressing the other student. “I want to be clear in saying that the actions shown in this video are not acceptable and do not represent the values of Hempstead High School or the Dubuque Community School District,” Jorgenson said. “I have talked personally with many students and parents today, as have members of our administrative team and staff across the building, to reinforce that we are here to support students today and moving forward.
