I’m sure it was meant to say “NAGGER”.
Oh for Pete’s sake, they even included the asterisks. Give’em a break. But oh no, now they must be crushed.
This is bizarre.
NI**ER” Is a racial slur?
Asterisks are an obscenity? Is that right?
Shouldn’t they already get expelled for being white?
they expected to be colder, it actually spells “nipper”
Well, it IS in 100% of rap “music”.
So it would be a common colloquialism.
The left can’t have it both ways, either it is “ culture” for the word to be in common use -regardless of who is using it- or it is offensive and NOBODY should be using it.
Now, the honest truth is that we won’t truly be “post-racial” until words like this have no meaning and those who use them vet laughed at.
And it is actually big business to keep people offended...
Who do they think they are......rap artists?
Maybe they should show the students an old movie NO WAY OUT with Richard Widmark, Sidney Poitier and Ossie Davis.
OK, you know what I watched last night on TCM!
Why can black people call each other this term over and over, but white people can’t?
Ever notice, 16 year olds don’t feel the slightest racial guilt, and do not share older peoples angst about all things race? They aren’t racist and so they feel free to say anything they want.
Im not talking about how they don’t know about Jim Crow and aren’t on step with geezers. Im talking that they don’t even care what 26 year old college microaggressed fainting snowflakes think.
Furthermore, when you screech at them that something makes you really mad, guess what they learn?
Good fun. These kids crack me up.
INTOLERANCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
It’s not a racial slur. It’s NI**ER. If they had said “kill all Whites”, they would be invited to speak at the democrat convention.
Expulsion is too much, a one day suspension might be more like it. Very stupid.
I just don’t give a crap about the “offended” any more. I see those who want to ruin these girls lives over a bad joke as much more of a problem than some dumb teenagers. I do believe the principal should be fired, but for imposing a ridiculous 5 day suspension.
Of course the article points out that they were WHITE girls. If they were Hispanic (eg Mexican) I’m sure it would of said white Hispanic.
This is on the level of a senior prank. Just suspend them for a day and be done with it.
Wonder what the Principal does about the “students” there who routinely use racist pejoratives about “Gringos” in Spanish?
Any kid in Arizona can tell you about that.
Let’s ruin some students’ lives because they spoke taboo words. No violence, no organization, no malice - just some words you hear constantly used by the media and entertainment complex.
Does this same thing happen in China or Russia?
“rearranged themselves for a private photo. For that one, they stood together spelling out the word “NI**ER,” laughing and smiling at their spelling trick.”
Maybe they didn’t even notice. Prove they did. Discipline them for standing side by side. Attorneys are salivating over this. What did my client, a individual, do?
She stood there for a group of friends. The letter “R” was on her shirt.
That is all she actually did. Can you be expelled for having the letter R on your shirt? Did the school letting the kids make the photo instruct the girl wearing “I” not to stand anywhere near the girl wearing “N”?
And double down. Arrange letter shirts to call the principal names. Act completely clueless and innocent. Do not agree an inch that it was deliberate.
