Teacher fired protecting student from bullying - why due process is important. [View all]
Fountain Hills school board fires longtime elementary teacher, Pam Aister
A Fountain Hills elementary school teacher said she took a stand to protect a student and it ended up getting her fired.
Pam Aister said one of her fourth-grade students was being bullied with racist taunts last school year.
"He was called the n-word, monkey, and coon," Aister said of the unidentified student before a school board meeting Friday.
The incident happened in May. She said a group of students were surrounding the boy. She was afraid they were picking on him so she intervened.
