Marci Gallison of Birmingham was sentenced to eight months probation today for shoving her daughter's teacher.
Gallison was facing charges of assault and battery for shoving the teacher after her daughter was accused of using the N-word in school.
Police say it began on the way back from a January field trip to see the movie "Hidden Figures."
Gallison's 15-year-old daughter allegedly used the racial slur on the school bus, then again back at the school.
Police say Gallison arrived to pick up her daughter and then got into an argument with the teacher and staff over the incident.
"I'm not a bad person and I think this was a very unfortunate circumstance that happened," said Gallison at the sentencing.
Gallison is also facing fines in this case. Probation terms include no contact with the high school, community service, and completion of an anger management class within 60 days.
