Elk Grove Teacher Under Investigation for 'N-word Bucks' in Lesson

An investigation is underway at Katherine Albiani Middle School in Elk Grove, California, after a teacher distributed controversial materials featuring 'N-word bucks' during a history lesson. The handout, titled 'History of the N-word,' contained racist imagery and language, prompting significant backlash from parents and community members who attended a school board meeting to voice their concerns. The Elk Grove Unified School District condemned the materials, stating they do not reflect the district's core values, and expressed commitment to supporting affected students and families. Many parents described the lesson as inappropriate and questioned the educational value of such content. A letter sent to families labeled the materials 'inappropriate,' but some parents criticized the description as too vague. The identity of the teacher involved has not been disclosed, and it remains unclear if they are on leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
