Principal not made to apologize for use of racial slur with students of colour

Oct 1, 2020

CALGARY -- The use of a racial slur by a school administrator at Saint Michael School in Calgary has erupted into controversy.

The administrator used the n-word during a discussion with a group of students last week.

A small portion of the conversation was recorded by the students and then shared with other students and posted online.

The students have been suspended for contravening the Calgary Catholic School District code of conduct policy that prohibits recording without consent, according to a district spokesperson.

CTV News obtained a copy of the recording in which Lianne Anderson, the principal of the school — can be heard saying “so how come it’s okay for you to say the word n****r” in a conversation directed at a group of students of colour.
