The superintendent didn't comment on the &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2012/06/01/bridesmaids-malibu-high-school-teacher-dionne-evans/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;alleged \"Bridesmaids\" reference&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the superintendent, the teacher took some time off -- but is now back in the classroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The superintendent says the teacher never intended to harm Evans -- and the incident was not racially motivated.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;We're told the teacher has tremendous support in the community. The L.A. County Sheriff's Department is still working on its criminal investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we reported, the Santa Monica NAACP branch is calling for the teacher to be placed on administrative leave, pending the criminal investigation."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
