A High School Junior Recorded Her Teacher Telling Her She's the Dumbest Girl He's Ever Met

A high school educator in Greene County, GA, was recorded during a lesson telling Shaniaya Hunter, a junior, that she's "the dumbest girl" he's ever met. To add insult to injury, he continued, "You know what your purpose going to be? To have sex and have children, because you ain't gonna never be smart."

Hunter was recording the lesson on her school-issued iPad in December while trying to catch up for a test, as an eye condition sometimes causes her to miss classes. Though she's the first to come forward regarding those harsh words directed at her, she says she's not the only student who has been insulted by this educator. She told WSBTV: "It really hurt me inside. . . . I don't think it's OK. I don't think he should be here."

Her lawyer, Ben Windham — who took the case pro bono after Hunter's mother approached the school district — said: "This man does not need to be teaching young children. It's not a gray area. End of story."

The family says they are going to continue to fight until it's over, but Hunter's mom said "it's not over yet."
