Oklahoma City, Okla. —
An Oklahoma City school teacher may be wishing he could take back what he said on Facebook Tuesday night.
Southeast High School science teacher and girls' volleyball coach Lamont Lowe was upset after voters on Tuesday passed a measure that eliminates Affirmative Action programs in Oklahoma.
We're told Lowe said, "I live in a state that hates me, hates women…revoking affirmative action is spitting in my face. This is the reason I hate OU Sooners and the OKC Thunder and everything that represents this racist state! Die Oklahoma! Hope a tornado blows away the Capital and all the rednecks in it."
A response from Oklahoma City Public Schools says in part that they recognize his right to free speech, but they are disappointed and saddened by the teacher's post and "we do recognize his First Amendment Right to Freedom of Speech."
"We do not agree with or support his comments," the response said.
Lowe says he does not hate Oklahomans and he is very sorry for what he said.
