Alachua County School District officials have disciplined the teacher caught on camera saying the N-word to his students.
A video of the teacher saying the word was recorded by a student in a Buchholz High School classroom.
District leaders say Robert Cecil will receive one day of unpaid suspension, a written reprimand, and mandatory sensitivity training. He will also be reassigned to another school in the district.
A North Central Florida high school teacher is under investigation by Alachua County schools after students recorded him using racial slurs in class.
In the video, Buchholz High English teacher Robert Cecil starts an uproar in class after he used the 'N' word not once but twice in front of students.
Cecil is heard saying, "If you're black, and you say 'n****', but you don't say 'n*****, 'cause that's like..."
Cecil goes on to say it's a free country and mentions freedom of speech.
