'Niggardly' Offense

[Felch]

I love the irony (I know it's not irony, but still) of a teacher being fired because her student's mother is unschooled.

I demand D i c k Cheney changes his name!! I´m deeply offended by the use of an obvious four letter word for a name.

Who´s with me? We´ll start a online petition!

And you think that teaching this word to children isn't going to lead to kids substituting it for n*****, while still meaning n*****? I remember what it's like being a vicious little kid. If you had given me ammo like that I would have been using it all over the place and then being a smart-ass to any adults if they got upset about it. Don't fool yourself.

It was once explained to me that blacks could not by definition be guilty of racism because racism only occurs when members of a majority abuse a minority race.

If I live long enough to see the white population in America become a minority I am certainly going to be looking to get the first teacher who uses the word "cracker" fired.

And how many have not s******ed when the science teacher talks abot the planet Uranus... Which reminds me of the 'Dilbert' strip where Dogbert is a consultant for a company that wants to change it´s name. And his proposal is Uranus Hertz

And neither of those words could by used as an insult by nasty little kids, which is about 99% of all children.

She should have used "Tight-arse"

We better not teach world history either, as little kids could use it to insult the heritage of other little kids. Let's think of the little French kids for god's sake; think of the pain that their motherland's "glorious" history could inflict upon them...

[Zoid]

Come on, che. nasty little buggers like that can turn 'pudding' into an insult...

I was bullied throughout elementary school and it wasn´t much those ****ers couldn´t turn into an insult

[devilmunchkin]

if kids are made to handle bible stories (lot's incest, god ordering genorcide in judges, david dancing naked, brothers kiling brothers or selling each other into slavery) then they should be able to handle this....right?
