An Ohio teacher has been suspended without pay for allegedly making racist remarks towards a student, and may be fired from the school.
The Fairfield Board of education suspended Gil Voigt on Monday for telling an African American student earlier this month on December 3, 'we don't need another black president' after the student expressed interest in becoming president one day.
Voigt has taught at Fairfield Freshman school for 13 years and this is not the first time he's gotten in trouble for racist remarks. Board president Dan Murray say the suspension is the first step in dismissing the teacher.
Voigt believes he was misquoted by the student who he said caused trouble in class.
