Parents and the NAACP spoke out during a Board of Education meting Thursday, accusing Pyles of inappropriately calling a student "black boy" when she couldn't remember his name, WFSB reports.
Officials told the Waterbury Republican-American that Pyles called the boy by the wrong name, and when the student pointed out the mistake, Pyles responded, "How about black boy? Go sit down, black boy."
The incident allegedly occurred in May, and surfaced when another child reported it to his mother, who then took the issue to the school, according to NECN.
