Gordie’s Midday Gossip - “N-word bucks” used in middle school

An investigation is underway in Elk Grove after a middle school teacher shared materials that included “N-word bucks” on a sheet titled, “History of the N-word.” The materials were handed out to students at Katherine Albiani Middle School as part of a history lesson. The page included a note that said “some of the content in this writing may be offensive to children.” On the page was a dollar bill that included racist imagery, words and phrases. The middle school history teacher has been put on leave as the school district investigates the incident.
