In a statement announcing DeVoto’s termination, the administration said the firing was made more necessary “because of a subsequent conversation with the teacher in which the same racial slur was communicated in its entirety several times despite clear and formal directives to stop.'

A Southwest Side Catholic school fired a longtime history teacher after she said the full N-word in class during a discussion of sports teams with racist names.

A student was recording the lecture for later note-taking and the video was quickly sent through the school. Later that day, the administration moved to suspend DeVoto, and following a meeting Monday, terminated her position. "The N-word is never acceptable in any gathering of, or setting with, the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas," the school said.DeVoto told the Sun-Times she was just trying to make things clear to administrators but would never use the word again.

Her firing seems unwarranted as she was using the word to illustrate/teach how offensive certain words are. Joe Rogan is making $100M to say the n-word as a slur. Something is not right in our society.
