Columbia Public Schools Superintendent Brian Yearwood had a racist email sent to his office, according to the district’s spokesperson.
The email, which was sent Dec. 8 to Yearwood’s district email, said, “You need to be forced to move to Africa where you belong.” Its subject line said “Violating children.”
Yearwood forwarded the email to district spokesperson Michelle Baumstark, asking if she “knew this person.”
“It’s heartbreaking, I mean it really is heartbreaking,” Baumstark told KOMU 8. “That you would have somebody in your community or elsewhere, wherever, somebody say something like that, or write something or think those things.”
