Las Vegas substitute teacher has been charged with punching a student who allegedly called him the N-word.
Re'Krwon Smith, 27, faces charges of battery and assault on a school pupil.
Smith was released on Friday and faces charges of interfering with a student at school and posing a threat to a student.
The student punched by Smith briefly lost consciousness and needed hospital treatment.
Smith will be removed from the district's substitute teaching pool, meaning he can't teach again, regardless of the case outcome.
His court date is set for May 28.,
