A clip featuring Dazhon Darien purportedly using artificial intelligence to mimic Eric Eiswert’s voice went viral and was extensively circulated on social media.
The principal appeared to have made disparaging remarks about Jews and remarked that “ungrateful” black kids “couldn’t test their way out of a paper bag” in the fabricated tape.
Investigators think Darien staged the video as payback for a chat about his subpar performance at work and a suggestion that the school might not extend his contract.
These discussions came after claims that Darien had given his roommate approximately £1,500 ($1,900) in educational cash.
