DALLAS — Grand Prairie NAACP is calling for the resignation of John Dubiski Career High School’s principal, pointing to what the organization’s president described as a “toxic” culture of racism that has been ignored by administrators.
The call for resignation comes about a week after video showing multiple students spelling out the N-word and saying it aloud in a classroom at the high school. Sam Buchmeyer, a spokesman for the district, has said school officials learned of the video March 12. He said the district would “fully investigate” the incident and “hold those involved accountable,” adding that school officials would have more information after spring break.
In a written statement Thursday, the school district officials said the investigation of the video was “swift and comprehensive.” He said all of the students who were involved in the incident “have been held accountable to the fullest extent” of the district’s student code of conduct. Any other allegations related to the video will also be investigated, according to the district.
