"At the end of the day, we screwed up, made a mistake," Nelson told the station."I also think context is important and when you understand the context, it doesn't make it better but sometimes it helps to understand it."
Nelson said the individual who made the comment was trying to explain the effect of hurtful language. "I can't comment on specifics, but I will let you know in cases as important and serious as this, we always try to make it a type of situation where there is proper discipline, also a big educational component and also a restorative component," Nelson told WCSH."I'm confident we're addressing all three of those."At a meeting last Friday with school administrators, the assistant principal apologized to Javon but used the N-word again, according to Gouin.
"I said, 'She’s been working with kids for 25 years-plus, what’s really going to help her at this point?'" Gouin said, adding her son is now afraid to go to school."I don’t want Javon or any other student to go through verbal abuse," Gouin said."And I feel like the whole school system feels like nothing was wrong with what happened."
