I remember as a kid in the 1960’s my mother saying that she had just advised her elderly aunt not to call them (he Spanish word for black) anymore. Her aunt, born in Victorian times, was confused and innocently asked if she should call them (a word that was opposite of lighties). She clearly never considered that word offensive at all. So much for educating a previous generation!

Brigitte Geiger and Sharon Jones were brought up on six administrative charges by Larrie Reynolds, the superintendent, on March 23, 2012 for unbecoming conduct and other charges based on a conversation they had in the locker room on March 2, 2012 that was overheard by two students

Well, at least they still have their White Privilege!!

Well, the libs have done a good job. Because almost every post here is so caught up in the semantics of this event, caught up in the history of words, caught up in the meanings and minutia of words, on and on ad infinitum, that the real story here is almost completely ignored.

The real story is that two long-time, experienced teachers were terminated from their livelihoods in this time of economic hardship. No mention in the article of their side of the story, or what will happen to them now that their names, incomes and reputations are shattered., not to mention the effects on their health and their opportunities for future employment. These are REAL people like you and me. They are probably not young any more. Now they are tossed away by the liberal establishment like so much garbage in a trash can.

The "evidence" of their crime is laughable hearsay and would never hold up in court. They were judged and found guilty by a couple of children and by adult inquisitors on a PC mission.

Without writing twenty more paragraphs, I could boil it down to one fact. The word "negroes" as allegedly used by the two teachers is not the real story. The real story is the use of political correctness for power and control....to show white people who's boss....to govern white people's thoughts and speech, and to keep ALL employed white people cowed, paralyzed and always looking over their shoulders for lurking tale-bearers waiting to report them for the words they use.

The above linked article bears reading in toto. Analyze it. It's basically a description of two gestapo-like, non-judicial kangaroo courts in full authoritarian action.

Forget the semantics....concentrate on how the race card is played for control, power and destruction of personal liberty by the liberal establishment. This can happen to any of us in the brave, new ObamaWorld.

THIS is what it's all about.
