A student asked her why people were upset over the name Washington Redskins ... she replied, “What would you think if someone started a team called the Newport News N----r?”

We’re all criminals now....I’ll bet 90% of the population has said that word at some time....and not always in a bad way.
Good thing she wasn’t reading from Mark Twain’s Life On The Mississippi.
It’s more amazing that she had no clue it would be a problem.
Unless she is a lesbian and thought that would trump the racism charge. That won’t work at a black school.
Sounds to me that she’s of the liberal persuasion in formulating that question to answer the student’s question.
Perhaps she felt that since she was so progressive and questioning she was inured from the ill will of cries of ‘racism’......
Hoisted on her own politically correct petard.
This woman violated a taboo. This requires an exorcism at the least. Call a shaman to cleanse the area.
Henry Miller: “Taboos after all are only hangovers, the product of diseased minds, you might say, of fearsome people who hadn’t the courage to live and who under the guise of morality and religion have imposed these things upon us.”
That’s a direct quote from Chris Rock’s comedy routine.
Teacher with forty years tenure does not know she has to walk on eggshells? She actually uttered one of the forbidden words in a public school?
Why does she think Mark Twain has been banned from public schools? Forbidden words.
That is some arrogance and ego on her part if she truly believed that not one of her “students”, black or white, would rat her out for that.
Wow! She could be a twin sister for Kelly Gissendaner, the murderess awaiting execution tomorrow in Georgia...
So it is okay for liberals to use the n word but not conservatives?
AND another gay liberal finds out where they really are on the Progressive food chain: hint, below blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims.
Tell me if I’ve got this right. She was equating “Redskins” with “nigger,” in her support of forcing the Redskins to change their name, and she got smacked with her own bully pulpit? Irony is ironic!
If she is suspended with pay....I think I have found a way for some “free” vacation time.
snorkel...snorkel...

She should have said “Herndon Honkies” or “ Williamsburg Whiteys” instead.
Trying to make a correlation between the word Redskin and n-—ger is pretty assinine. She should be fired for stupidity
Free people can say any word they want to. They also don’t have to write “the N-word” when they mean to use the word, “nigger”.
And why is it that the people who are the most outraged by the use of the word are the very people who use it the most in their music?
She should have just had one of their rap songs they all love shimmying to at that word, and played it at the proper time(s).
