High school teacher sues former student for racial harassment: 'You have to speak up'

Raw Story  

A Virginia high school history teacher is suing one of his former students, alleging that the student committed multiple acts of racism against him, WAVY-TV reports. Joel Mungo, who teaches at Menchville High School, said someone left a banana at his door once a month in what he describes as "clearly a deliberate act." I asked him, ‘Hey did you do this?’ He said ‘No,’ he played dumb, ‘No idea what you’re talking about.’ So I said ‘OK, go down to the assistant principal.’ I’m the only Black teacher he has. You can’t allow it to go on because then it will just continue to go on,” Mungo said.
