Teacher Fired After Allegedly Calling MLK Jr. Day 'Black Privilege Day'

A school board in Missouri has fired a tenured science teacher after he allegedly used racial slurs and referred to Martin Luther King Jr. Day as "Black Privilege Day" during his classes.

The Harrisonville School Board voted on to fire John Magoffin during a closed session on Wednesday after an investigation by the school's principal found incidents that allegedly occurred in three different classes: AP biology, physics and advisory.

The principal of Harrisonville High School reported that students alleged that Magoffin, who had been with the district since 2012, used a racial slur during a conversation about rap culture in one of his classes and that he told students he had never seen racism in the U.S.

It was also discovered by the principal that the teacher had called Martin Luther King Jr. Day "Black Privilege Day."
