A Massachusetts elementary school teacher allegedly held a mock slave auction and used a racial slur, prompting officials to place her on leave.

A Massachusetts elementary school teacher has been placed on leave following a series of incidents in which she held a mock slave auction and used a racial slur, district and school officials said this week. The fifth grade teacher at Margaret A. Neary Elementary School in Southborough, a town about 30 miles west of Boston, was not named by officials.

Martineau told parents that such words should not be used by employees or students, as they are dehumanizing. He further apologized to parents and said 'there were missteps' in the process that complicated the situation. 'Ultimately, I am responsible for ensuring students are in safe and supportive learning environments,' he said.
