That's it🤬 Republicans these days are going down in history as the most evil ppl in the modern world FACTS even Hitler's germans were forced into hate but these wypipo here in the US are mentally unstable and I blame inbreeding 💯
She got a 3 day vacation for reporting on bad behavior. At least that's how I always viewed getting suspended.
The Republican way. Hate, Racism, Guns and Women's rights.
Red state.
I'm not sure what the whole content and context of this conversation was. Black people call each other that word all the time and it's in their music as well. I don't know if the teacher was being as ridiculous as that but it's plausible. He said he didn't call anybody that word but he could say it just like we don't censor music because of that word or discipline people for using that word unless it is hate speech. But I will say these are not normal citizens they are children and that is not like a cop hurting someone on the street and being recorded. If you're not allowed to have a cell phone and using it then that is the rule and I don't care if you're using the camera part if you're using the Google search is there texting your friends if you're Facebooking etc. And if the teacher did go quietly they were probably doing what was best for all which is admirable these days. Vigilante children do not grow up healthy.
Lol that's a republican district for ya
The Student was suspended not the teacher. "Incredible" whistle Blowing should be allowed. Need Federal laws covering Whistle Blowing.
They trying to cover up how a lot of them talk
The KID got suspended?!?!?!?!

Why? This is Democracy? Looks like Communist. GOP is like communist now.
Take them to court for trauma .
Why should the student be suspended I’m triggered
Record the wrong person and see what happens..
Once again a white Christian conservative state being racist. You know what that's going to cost you all money. In the 21st century no one wants to risk their brand doing business with a racist.
i agree that part of equality means everyone can say what ever, (and once people stop getting offended and giving words power, it becomes a non-issue over time , but again, it all depends on context and situation, but yeah geometry class / school is not appropriate time to be doing street slang, its geometry class, it has nothing to do with geometry in any context. so kudos for the student to say, and provide proof that yes, this was inappropriate to be going on.
#SUE THE #SCHOOL & #SchoolBoard!!! THIS IS BULL THEY ARE TEACHERS
Nott even black teachers use the N word, it's a slur, through and through
Only in america lol country is turning into a laughing stock.
He should have handled it differently, but the teacher is right. Talking about the word is not the same as using it in a derogatory sense. Not to mention the fact that saying it is okay for "black" people to use it and not others is, by definition, racist.
