A Florida teacher has prompted outrage online and in her local community after a video showed her hanging a black baby doll from a charging cord in front of her students. 63-year-old Karen Savage claimed she did it as a joke but parents have understandably taken issue with the racist imagery.
The offensive and downright racist act was filmed by a 14-year-old student at Barrington Middle School in Lithia, Florida. In the now viral clip Savage is seen hanging the doll from a TV monitor. The clip was later posted to Facebook along with details about the teacher including her name and a photograph of her. The student and his mother said they were shocked by the incident and they’re not the only ones.
