Unaware that a recording of her class was circulating on social media, DeVoto was called into a conference with McAuley Principal Eileen O’Reilly, a 2003 graduate of the high school.
DeVoto was asked to explain her use of the word during her class. According to DeVoto’s daughters, their mother admitted to using the N-word in its entirety, which she should not have done. The veteran teacher apologized and explained she should have found a better way to explain the derogatory nature of the word “redskin.” DeVoto was suspended and was escorted off campus.
On Monday, DeVoto was summoned to another meeting with O’Reilly and both vice principals. She again asked for a chance to stand before her class and make a public apology. DeVoto’s daughters claim their mother was denied that opportunity. An hour later, school officials called and fired her.
News of DeVoto’s termination has been heating up the McAuley alumni groups on Facebook ever since. An overwhelming majority are supportive of the teacher and think the school overreacted.
A Change-org petition, started by DeVoto’s daughters — Melanie Rahman Thomas, Stephanie Rahman and Emily Rahman, all of them McAuley alumni — has garnered over 2,700 signatures.

Her daughters, as do DeVoto’s many supporters, insist that their mother is not a racist. As a single mom, DeVoto raised three biracial daughters in Beverly, devoting 41 years to Catholic education for little pay and few perks. Her daughter Stephanie, whose father is from Bangladesh, said she and her sisters “were the darkest things at Christ the King School.” DeVoto would chastise security guards at Evergreen Plaza for following her dark-skinned daughters around stores.
“My mother is heart-broken, she loved teaching,” Stephanie Rahman told Patch. “She’s getting fired for being a racist when she’s teaching about racism. We were never ever allowed to say that word in our house. She used the n-word in the context of teaching, not as a derogatory slur.”
Meanwhile, among the hundreds of comments left on the “Save beloved teacher Ms. Mary DeVoto (formerly Mrs. Rahman)” petition, current students, parents and alumni praise DeVoto as “kind, compassionate, intelligent, brilliant, amazing, a blessing” and “not a racist.” Many also accuse the high school of losing its Christian and Catholic focus, and failing to espouse the “Mercy charism”:
