[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, just say “n-word”. My kid is reading Sing, Unbroken, Sing at SSSAS. The teachers explained to the students that the (Black) author used the word (spoken by both Black and white characters in the book) and that the students themselves should say “n-word” if reading aloud or type “n*****” if quoting the book in a written response. It’s important to read and discuss books with these themes and topics but it’s also important for teachers and students to understand what language is and isn’t acceptable even in purely academic discussion. There are easy work-arounds that don’t take away from the author’s choices to include certain words, the importance of introducing such words from an academic standpoint, or the importance of the importance of the topic, but still don’t have students or even teachers speaking certain words about loud.
