Durban - Westville Girls’ High School says it has launched an investigation after a teacher allegedly told pupils that white people are “genetically smarter” than people of colour.

According to a source, the incident happened during a Grade 12 Afrikaans class last week. Pupils in class did not immediately react, but some were distraught after class, according to the source. Steven Tait, chairperson of the school governing body, confirmed that the alleged incident happened on Friday. “We take any incidents of this nature very seriously. The incident has triggered an internal investigation by the school and we’re also seeking external legal advice,” he said.

What would have happened if the teacher said that black people are genetically better at running that white people? Which is also a true fact.

I hope that teacher has their facts ready for the court case.

Would be classic if the teacher was a "person of colour".

Well they didn't publish the teacher's name and hometown in the article, so quite possible.

I wonder what his/her forced contribution to the Swear Jar For White People of South Africa will be - aka SAHRC.

Is it possible teacher said "generally shorter" - just my 2 cents. There is always a third story in such cases.
