School suspends girl for filming her teacher repeatedly saying the "n-word"

I saw the clip. He didn't direct the word at anyone but really seemed to go out of his way to say it multiple times with the hard r. Wonder if he would have as casually dropped the F bomb over and over in class? I feel like she should get some sort of whistleblower protection for her rule violation under the circumstances.

 

Damn Liberal teachers...

 

so if electronic devices were illegal in that classroom it is ok if she caught him using the word?2 wrongs do not make a right, either phones were prohibited or they were not, guess it depends on your political leanings as to how a rule is enforced.

 

As a maga friend recently said to me when I mentioned a similar story, "just the liberal media focusing on an isolated event, no racism in this country. Obama election proved that".

 

Conjecture on my part, seems the school district’s attorneys would draft a rule like this after considering other actions that would put the school district in a liability situation. They likely had to suspend the student, otherwise, making an exception would erode their protection. Maybe an attorney here could weigh in.

 

3 day suspension seems kinda steep for filming a video in class.

 

Not to get sidetracked, but this made me wonder how the "don't say gay" style bills will be enforced if there are strict rules against students using devices? Are they going to put cameras and microphones in all the classrooms or just rely upon witness statements? Maybe some schools already have cameras but not sure.

 

oh, law & order matters again…

seems pretty threatening, shoulda choked him out

 

Have righties started a GoFundme for this poor maligned teacher who was just exercising his free speech rights yet

 

yes

 

I think we have all gone hyper crazy about that stupid word, but at the same time at this point if a teacher doesn’t have enough sense not to say it, no matter what the circumstances, I don’t have any sympathy for him.

As to the suspension, I get and support having rules that forbid videotaping at school due to privacy concerns. However if there is inappropriate behavior going on, especially with the teacher, that kind of changes things. Probably not a hill the school district should die on this time.

 

and there, imo, is the main problem with that word. if it is so offensive to african-americans they should never use it, yet they do all the time, but a non african-american, well, that ain't right.

 

have libbies offered to pay for councelling for the poor traumatized girl?

 

You know maybe a one or two decades ago perhaps he gets away with it but now you just ought to know better - whether you think it is right or not.

I will say it’s kind of creepy that whatever your worst moments in life are these days, your dumbest decisions, are probably going to get caught on video. That’s both good and bad. Lord knows I’ve had lots of moments I’d rather not have on video.

 

Rules are rules. Zero tolerance suddenly sucks when it bites back, doesn't it? I hardly see the big deal, seeing as how the evil dragon was slain.

 

At least you have some good friends

 

Maybe. I know you probably don’t think hearing the n-word is a big deal and don’t find it offensive, but some African Americans do.
