Actually, no, it’s people have made the word magic who have struck again.
The headline is Glendale High School teacher placed on leave after student records him using racial slur
However, the teacher did not use the baddest word as a racial slur. He discussed it as a word:
After a student notes slave owners’ use of the term, the teacher says he recognizes that, but then says, “Is the word (N-word) not allowed to be said?”
Amid several audible gasps from students in the class, a student begins to tell the teacher not to say it, noting, “As a teacher, if you want to keep your job — this isn’t a threat …”
The teacher responds: “But I’m not calling anyone a (N-word). I can say the word.”
Spoiler alert: It was a threat.
Weird times we live in, when “educators” can “safely” discuss sexuality with children and tell the children not to tell their parents, but discussing a word as a unit of language–not using the slur, but discussing it–is grounds for termination.
Also, I am probably a homophobe and a racist for bringing this up. But twenty years of this blog have already proven I’m irredeemable.
