The release of a nearly hour-long recording containing multiple racist remarks directed towards Black and Hispanic individuals by Frederick Great Plains Technology Center instructor, Bryan Smith, has sparked controversy and raised concerns about racial discrimination in educational settings. In his statement, Smith expressed regret and apologized to his family, friends, coworkers, students, and their families. He mentioned his efforts in building race relations in the community throughout his life.
The conversation between Smith and Tillman County Sheriff candidate Robert Wallace, where the racial remarks were made, was captured in a series of videos posted on YouTube. In addition to the offensive comments, Smith was heard saying that he only taught at the Vo Tech for financial reasons.
It is essential to promote tolerance, respect, and diversity in all aspects of society, including educational institutions. Racism has no place in our communities, and it is crucial to address and confront such behavior to create a more equitable and harmonious society for everyone. Let us strive to work together towards unity and understanding, embracing our differences and celebrating our shared humanity.
