Employee at US school quits after 'cotton picking' comments


US college student killed Chinese scholar, his lawyer admits at trialOne of the students, Jasmyn Spencer, told local media that the employee – who was supervising lunch in the cafeteria – first threatened to record their misbehavior and show it to parents at graduation. The incident then took on racial overtones, Jasmyn told KPTV. “She said that you’re lucky I’m not making you guys pick cotton and clean my house and everybody just got extremely mad about that,” Jasmyn said. “We know and understand that the impact of words can be hurtful for our students and that was the case in this situation,” the statement said. “There simply isn’t an excuse for my language, and I acknowledge what I said was hurtful and offensive,” she wrote.
