[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those of you who think this N word pass thing is trivial, I have an AA DC at Churchill and other kids have said very vile, racist things.  I view the N word pass as childish and ignorant.  These other comments are more direct, and when I've mentioned to others at my work, etc. jaws drop.  I won't mention them here because the perpetrators could recognize the situations and I don't want to add to the drama.

Don't trivialize the problem by thinking of it as limited to silly passes.[/quote]

If other kids have said vile, racist things then [b]that[/b] is the problem.      (My own AA child at Churchill has experienced only more subtle -- but not trivial -- racism at Churchill.)      Don't take out your anger for this problem on kids who have not done anything nearly as bad.      If you make a word "forbidden" then teenagers are going to test the boundaries, but they did not do it in any sort of hateful way, or even write or say the N-word.[/quote]

Perhaps that was your child’s experience.  The n-word has been used toward AA students at Hoover and Churchill in the hateful context it historically has been used by a white person.[/quote]
