[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somehow,  I think the message by the Churchill administrators and staff didn't sink in with students.  My child showed me social media posts this morning that greatly saddened me as a parent.  We have already lost a generation if students think using racial slurs is funny.[/quote]

[b]It does not matter if they think it is funny.[/b] As long as they know it can have consequences and [b]try to avoid doing it[/b][/b], it is fine.

There are many "funny" but bad things. People do not do those, not mainly because they feel those are not funny, but because they can get caught doing those.[/quote]

YES it matters if student thinks a racial slur is funny.  It also matters if people dismiss the hurt these types of words cause friends and neighbors in the school.  Passing out n-word passes in person or online creates a hostile environment for students within a public school.  The 30,000 likes the posts thus far receives sends the wrong message to children that it is cool to hurt fellow students.  The n-word passes are no different than the college students who thought painting their faces black and dressing up in KKK robes was funny in the 1980s.  [/quote]
