Wisconsin School District Claims Teacher’s Anti-Asian Slurs Were Harmless

Members of the Asian American community in Wausau, Wisconsin, are outraged that the school district has put a teacher it admits used racist and sexist language back in the classroom.

“While a preponderance of the evidence shows that Mr. Perkins did not engage in harassing or discriminatory behavior, he did engage in insensitive and unprofessional conduct,” the district superintendent wrote in a letter this week.

“Witnesses indicate that he did use language that could be insensitive to students of different protected classes, including race and sex, but that language does not rise to the level of discrimination or harassment.”

An open letter signed by Asian American leaders in Wausau—which is 81 percent white according to census data, but has a large Hmong-Lao population—said they were outraged by the reinstatement of high school band teacher Robert Perkins.

“Despite corroborating statements confirming Mr. Perkins’ use of anti-Asian, racist slurs such as ‘chink’ and ‘ching chong,’ as well as statements from other witnesses that Mr. Perkins’ conduct caused unease among students from protected classes, the WSD investigator still found no grounds for a determination of harassment,” the letter reads.

“This decision sends a strong message that using racist, sexist, and homophobic slurs are permissible, so long as they made are in good faith, and that is just unacceptable to us.”

The school district’s letter, which summarized its internal investigation into a student complaint about Perkins, said that “all students report that Mr. Perkins uses humor to engage students and create a ‘fun’ environment.”

It then went on to say, somewhat confusingly, that while Perkins does say things that causes students “unease,” the students also believe he creates a “safe space” and “does not meant to harm anyone.”

The student who complained told the investigator he believes Perkins knows what he doing and that students will “cover for him” because they like him.

At a school board meeting this week, several students spoke out in support of Perkins, who was named Teacher of the Month in January, and urged the district to reinstate him.

Perkins has not publicly commented on the situation. The father of the boy who complained said his son was so upset he had not been in school for two weeks.

“When I saw it in my son’s eyes as he’s crying on the floor, it broke my heart that a grown man can do this to my son,” Tha Vongphakdy told WAOW.

Well, Wisconsin is a majority Left/Dem state so I understand... they virtual signal but do the opposite in private.
However, I bet this would be a big big issue and all over the MSM if the slur was against blacks...

To survive in the white man's world, redneck world, you somewhat got to play by their rules.  Turn a blind eye and even give your daughter for them white boys to date. 

I know what I said is disturbing but that's how my cousins who lives in redneck cities are doing it.  They blend on in with the white folks and they do things not to offend the white men.  Where I'm coming from, we show the world our azn pride.  Our neighbors are usually minorities so they understand the rules of engagement.  Throw parties with roasted pig and loud noises?  No problem.  Them mexicans have their own parties that doesn't bother you non.  If you live next to white folks, let me see you make a stinky cultural dish in your backyard where the smell would fly to your neighbors.  These types of cultural stuff like cooking your fish sauce to make it taste better are not done by my midwest cousins.  If they do cultural stuff, they do it indoors.  Outdoors where your neighbors can see are stuff that them rednecks are doing too like BBQ just your typical hotdogs hamburger and steak where the smell is something they are accustomed to.   

It takes an outsider to go into their world to tell them the truth but will they listen?  Nah, it's normal order for them over there.  Wait til you get hated upon cuz you azn but then again, if you act white, how can they hate you for being white?
