The Social Memo
July 3, 2015
A Cincinnati teacher has resigned in the wake of racist comments and abusive actions taken toward handicapped children.
Intervention Specialist Pamela Bullock has left her position at Wayne Local Schools in Warren County, after four teaching assistants wrote a letter to administrators detailing her abuse toward students.
In one incident, the assistants reported that Ms. Bullock was taking care of a handicapped, non-verbal student, when she became irate at him. Bullock threw a marker at the boy, hitting him in the head.
Later the same day, “a racial comment was directed toward the same student,” wrote the assistants. “After applying a bandage to the student’s leg, [Bullock] said, ‘Anything else, your highness? My people fought for years, so we wouldn’t have to serve white people like you.'”
In another incident, Bullock reportedly got angry at a student and took the safety wheels of his wheelchair.
