A parent's Facebook post that detailed how a high school baseball coach allegedly made a racist remark against his son has resulted in the coach's firing.
A Kansas high school baseball coach was fired Monday morning after a student's father said he used a racial slur against his son, who is Black, during a pregame batting practice before facing off against another team Thursday evening.
Flood's teaching contract was also terminated, and he has been removed from all positions within the school district. On Friday, the school district addressed the incident in a statement and recommended Flood's"immediate termination" to the school board. He said when Flood heard the music,"He looked Nyle directly in his eyes and said, 'We don't play that N***** music over here. We only play country and rock music.'"
Flood had been coaching baseball for 33 years and has worked as a teacher for 25 years, according to his LinkedIn which also said he was an assistant football coach at the high school. He had worked at Olathe North High School since 2018.

And don’t send me to any of those lame underground bunkers you just take the new politicians on their welcome tours. I want to get down and dirty, maybe even torture someone myself.” At press time, Emanuel shocked his hosts by rattling off the names of several black sites they had never even heard of, and handing them classified papers on each of the detainees he wanted to meet.\n
