A white science teacher ....

I wonder if this story would have even been a story had it been a black science teacher who had made the remark?

Good question. The answer, of course, is "no".

OTOH, wonder if it would have made news if a black science teacher had said to a white kid, "Stop acting like a Gurley redneck."

[NOTE: Gurley is a tiny little town on the outskirts of Huntsville that...................................well, let's just say that Gurley is to Huntsville what Rio Linda is to Sacramento, for you Rush listeners.]

Took the words right outta ma mouf. My bet is that kinda name calling is daily fare in the black world, but censored speech in the white. Never-the-less you is what you is regardless of pc.
