Student claims fondling, teacher claims dislike of blacks

first-grade teacher at an Humble prep school cited her racial prejudice against black students in denying allegations that she fondled a girl in her classroom last month, according to court records.

Esther Irene Stokes, 61, of Montgomery, was charged with indecency with a child April 10, court records show.

The 7-year-old student told police that Stokes, her teacher at Northwest Preparatory Academy Charter School, sent all the students out of the classroom and touched her on her "private part" on the outside of her clothes on March 1, according to a criminal complaint filed in the case.

"The defendant stated that she doesn't like black students because she was prejudiced," the complaint states. She told police that "she does not like the complainant" and has "very little to no interaction" with her.

[font color=green]But officer, I didn't touch that girl because I'm a bigot and she would have given me the cooties.

It's early in the year, but this may qualify as the worst excuse of 2013. Oh yeah, she taught at a charter school. [/font]
