(Norwalk, IA) — A music teacher for the Norwalk Community School District is on paid administrative leave while the district investigates his possible use of racial slurs. A video posted to Facebook and Instagram appears to show Gerard Krupke typing the slurs into a word game that was displayed on an overhead screen at the high school. The incident reportedly happened last week. More than 200 comments have been made on the Norwalk Facebook page – some demanding Krupke be fired and others calling him a wonderful person who wouldn’t do such a thing.
