Teacher’s ‘racist zoom rant’ overheard by student’s family after she forgets to end call

The mother of a 12-year-old boy in California is seeking damages after she recorded her son’s teacher going on racist rant about her family after forgetting to end a zoom teaching session, reports say.

Katura Stokes said her young son’s science teacher, Kimberly Newman, scheduled a Zoom session on 20 January after her son struggled to complete class assignments via distance learning.

Following the Zoom call, the mother said the science teacher proceeded to launch into a racist and expletive-filled rant after she forgot to end the session.

Ms Stokes pulled out her camera to record the rant, which reportedly lasted longer than 30 minutes as the teacher apparently complained to her husband.
