While Mungo is considering suing the student, attorney Ali Shahrestani isn’t sure whether the matter would get far.

“It might be the case that the teacher needed to take matters to court to make a bigger point here,” he noted. “The school issued a meager two-day suspension for an arguable hate crime and an act of malicious and racist harassment against an African American teacher in a predominantly white public school.”

“The 10th-grade student is arguably old enough to know better,” Shahrestani continued. “A more appropriate punishment should have been immediate expulsion, especially when the school possesses video evidence of the student’s illegal actions.”

If he were involved in the matter, the attorney added that he’d “advise the teacher to consider a lawsuit against the school for supporting a hostile work environment via its negligent failure to dole out a reasonable punishment.”

“It sends a terrible message to other students, teachers, and the community when a student gets a slap on the wrist like this for such a disgusting series of alleged actions against a teacher,” Shahrestani explained.

Presently, it’s unclear whether Mungo will go through with the lawsuit.
