The student who shot the video posted it on social media saying that the school needed to hire new teachers.
Fort Bend ISD released a statement in response to the video saying, in-part:
"Racial slurs and derogatory language is unacceptable under any circumstance and will not be tolerated."

The name of the teacher has not yet been released. The district added the coach was placed on leave during the investigation.
