When I first read about it, I had never heard the term "yard apes". It didn't come to mind as racist but I knew that was the reaction that was coming. I thought name calling in general was rather unprofessional in a board meeting. I figured saying something like this would be in private or between just a few people, not at work.

BTW, this lady was the associate vice president for student services at the school and wasn't a teacher. She was an employee at the school for 20 years. 20 years down the tube. She'll never get a job in SC, GA, or NC for sure. Now that it's gone national, she won't get a job anywhere.
