[quote=Anonymous]The Palin/McCain rallies come to mind - "the N word" was all over the news and this is DC. Huckleberry Finn also comes to mind. Knowing the word and understanding are two different things. Using the word to degrade another human being is ia serious offense. It should be addressed, not ignored and all of the kids should learn a lesson about how abhorrent it is. The issue here is sensitivity and education - isn't that what schools are all about, no matter how prestigious? These children are not perfect, and even if the student is kicked out, the school and family should reassess how they are communicating the values of respect and tolerance within the community. We can always do better - the issue shoud be addressed head on and broadly - however ugly - it is a learning experience.[/quote]
