Self-confessed racist teacher denies fondling 6-year-old student, saying she doesn't like to touch black people

A 61-year-old self-confessed racist teacher accused of molesting a first-grade girl has denied the allegation saying she doesn't like to touch black people even if only on the hand.
Court documents allege Irene Esther Stokes told all her children, apart from one, to leave her classroom - and then touched her inappropriately.
The girl asked her to stop - and Stokes ordered her to leave the room.
She then allegedly made her stand in a hallway and banned her from having lunch.
Stokes, who was arrested last Thursday and charged with indecency with a child, denies the allegations.
"She said she doesn't like to even touch the black children on their hand, she shies away when they try to hug her - she admitted to being prejudiced," Humble Police Department Detective J. Blanchard told KHOU.com.
The school issued a statement on Tuesday revealing that Stokes, who was released from jail on a $10,000 bond, has lost her job.
She will appear in court on May 21.
