Superintendent Resignation after Alleged Use of Racist Term

Dr. Geye Hamby was put on administrative leave on August 21, 2018, after recordings surfaced in which a person (allegedly Dr. Hamby) repeatedly and casually used the n-word.[9] Dr. Hamby resigned on August 24, 2018, as a result of the recordings.[10]

gollark: I'll leave it for a bit so <@!160279332454006795> can review it as they said they would, and then just stick it up and hope it hasn't got any bad loopholes.
gollark: I see. Maybe he should be RVPed.
gollark: It's possible. Presumably if I used an encoding which it was actually possible for other people to decode this would not be the case.
gollark: Not really. If I have a UTF-16 document with valid grammar/spelling and I convert it to UTF-8, the grammar/spelling is not altered.
gollark: That's grammar/spelling, not *encoding*.
