Actually I think the word is Nicker.

An ignorant moment among six high school seniors - who spelled out a racial slur with lettered T-shirts they were wearing for a school photo and posted it to social media on Friday - has ignited national outrage that shows no sign of stopping.
Civil rights activists are even planning to hold a protest on Monday at the school, Desert Vista High School in Phoenix. That's where the six white girls, part of a larger group of students who wore lettered T-shirts and stood together to spell out "Best You've Ever Seen Class of 2016" for a yearbook photo, 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.
A Change.org petition with more than 37,000 signatures is calling for the girls to be expelled and for the principal, Christine Barela, to be fired. "Arizona has been stricken with another blatant expression of racism and ignorance," the petition says, seemingly referring to another recent social media controversy in which an Arizona State University student tweeted the N-word along with a photo of herself and a friend holding freshly picked cotton.

Now if these girls were black, and using racial epitaphs against whites, there would be no problem. Why couldn’t they have just done that?
Expulsion — not suspension or detention — expulsion. Thank God I’m not a kid anymore. The PC police have absolutely no mercy or sense of proportion. You’re damned for every little stupid mistake you make.
Comedians like Dave Chappelle. If you haven’t seen the “The Black White Supremacist, Clayton Bigsby” be prepared to laugh your ass off.

If they were black and on an album cover, they would have received a major award.
Does this same thing happen in China or Russia?
Yes, but for different words and different protected classes.
“- has ignited national outrage”
Serious? a couple students spell an offensive word and it makes national OUTRAGE?
They should have spelled it NIGA
should have worn blackface.
There is no bigger threat to civilization than Political Correctness.
Yes, they should be punished, but having their lives ruined?
Especially for a word used by most black people and every rapper on the planet?
I’m black, and to me, there is no difference between the two words at all.
If somebody uses the ‘modified’ version, I ask them not to use that anymore when referring to me. It is most certainly not a compliment to me. It’s like being dragged down to slum-dweller levels. Of course, I’m a Old Guy at age 59.
Were they spelling out NIPPER?
Actually I think the word is Nicker.
A buddy had a dog named ‘nipper’.
Since there are six of them, which starts with the letter S, and they are snickering, perhaps the word is even Snicker.
“N1**ER” is a racial slur? Like the muzzies seeing the name of their god on an ice cream wrapper.
Agree, expulsion is too much.
A forewarning to future mates? I doubt that!!!! LOL
It didn’t used to take bad behavior reaching the public for expulsions.
The schools were far better then.
Asterisks filled in the spaces between the words.
THIS*IS*AN*EXAMPLE
But there is a “1” - which looks like an “I” - at least in the original pic.
