So not saying it at them, per se, but rather instead of acknowledging that she shouldn’t have said it she doubled down and became even more racist by screaming at the kids that she can say it and that she’s n it wrong and that she doesn’t care what their skin color is.

My kid showed me the video. She says “My best friend is black” and “my son’s wife is Filipino” and “my daughter’s husband is Colombian” to justify it when told that she can’t say that. She then proceeded to say “I’m not wrong” and “you can’t call me racist I can say that word” to the students.

Did she say it when an r or a

So she didn’t call a student the n-word? She was trying to figure out who did say it?

Maybe initially. But what I heard after when she doubled down was -“I have a black friend and I call him **.” I have a Colombian relative and I call him **.”
And each time saying the full word loudly. It sounds really crazy.

It does. Kind of wonder if she is not a native born American. I cannot imagine anyone not understanding this "rule."
I do think, though, that the word should not be used by anyone. Even those of color. Whoopi defends it and it is prevalent in music, but we need to remove it from any use.
But, it has been a rule for many years.

That will surely inspire more people to face guns, drugs, and lack of discipline in order to teach brats.

I think we all should know not to say The Word. And if we have said it somehow and are corrected, even if by a middle schooler saying "bro, you can't SAY that!" we should respond with an apology and a promise to do better.

Yes, but then she kept saying the word and defending her right to do so... To middle school boys. But was not using at "at" anyone.

Teaching about the term (history/culture jamming) or using it as a slur? Very different contexts.

Kids literally say the N word all day long in the halls.

Do you have any more details? What was said and in what context? I also didn’t understand the focus. Was the slur not that “bad” or what? (Not agreeing with that as an excuse but just trying to understand - It was a very confusing email with seemingly misplaced priorities.)

I love how the email from Frost focuses on responsible social media use over responsible adults not saying racial slurs.

Glad the kids took a video and posted it online. Otherwise, the adult probably would not have been held accountable.
