Pearson told me the comments came when the class was discussing past students. A student in the sixth grade class mentioned Pearson because that student knew Pearson had been in the class two years ago. The student who heard the remarks texted Pearson that Garrison said Pearson thinks he’s “all that and a bag of chips” and “not worth saving in a fire.”
Pearson told BizPac, “My words are bold and I don’t expect everyone to agree. But to have a teacher say this about me? Completely inexcusable. I hope the Columbia County School District addresses this,”
“Also, our school has zero tolerance bullying standard for students. I hope that standard isn’t easily forgotten when it comes to teachers.”
“This was brought to our attention after it was posted on social media. We have been on an extended holiday weekend and will conduct a full review of the allegations once school resumes tomorrow,” Putnam wrote. “Columbia Middle School believes all students should be taught in a safe and positive environment. Accordingly, if the claims are substantiated we will handle the issue as a personnel matter.”
Where is the outrage from the Al Sharptons of the world about this hateful language against a young black man? Oh right. I forgot. Only liberal lives matter.
