A student asked the teacher what the big deal was over calling the Washington DC team “The Redskins.”
The teacher explained that it was a slur. The kid wasn’t convinced, so she asked the 90% black classroom if they would be offended by a team called the Newport News Niggers.
Done. Finished. Kaput.
You can’t even use the word as an intellectual exercise, which is exactly why there is no intellectualism in academia.
Do I feel bad? No. The teacher is most likely a leftard, and now she’s getting a dose of leftardism.
There’s a petition to get her reinstated. But that would require the administration to have an ounce of brain power.

Blacks have incredible power right now, when Obama leaves office it will end.
The utter betrayal Leftards must feel when they are the ones in the crosshairs. Public elementary school? Of course the teacher was a Progtard.
Shoulda said “Heritage High Honkeys” instead…
😉
I’ve been to Newport News.
It fits, wear it.
“WTKR-TV reported Thursday that Pierce then said to the class, “What would you think if someone started a team called the Newport News N—-r?””
(N—-r?)?
WTF, as if by not spelling it out the word is considered unspoken?
The last cruise I went on left out of Newport News.
The movie on the Jumbotron on deck was “Gone With The Wind.”
My family had a good laugh over that since most of the passengers were from Petersburg and Newport News.
The fact she was explaining “Redskins” is a slur tells me she’s a leftist. Love when moonbats get trapped by their own moonbattery.
Live by the P.C.
Die by the P.C.
The team had to fold.
They couldn’t manage their finances in a niggardly fashion…
The N-cubed’s mascot was a guy looting a CVS
Hoist by her own leftard.
She should have known better.
She should have also known that “redskin” is NOT an epithet, it’s a descriptor.
Come to think of it, “nigger” is a descriptor, too.
Great chasm between “negro” or “black” and “nigger.”
You never would have heard this story if the teacher had said, “What if there was a team called the Washington White Crackers?” Or the “Hampton Honkeys?” Because no one would have been offended and the teacher wouldn’t have been suspended.
This is what you get when feelings and microagressions trump intellectual discussions.
What was the answer?
the fact that the black student and the teacher both said “Redskin,” and nothing happened, tells me everything I need to know about everything that’s going on.
Being of Irish decent, the nick name for Notre Dame causes me great pain. Every time I hear it uttered, it pisses me off and have to kick somebody’s ass!
I have a question: What if the name fits? Like ” The San Francisco Faggots”? Still offensive? I’m still learning to be a good citizen soldier.
Yeah but at least its not because you’re drunk, right? Right? Oh. Nevermind.
Newport News has a team? I thought it was a gang….
I told LBJ there was a controversy over this favorite slang word.
He used it four times in his reaction. 🙂
Which one of her students brought a clock to class?
What about Redskin potatoes?
Are their feelings hurt, too?
How bout Niger, Nigeria, and the Rio Negro?
Are their feelings hurt, too?
Not just blacks but progs in general. 0bama is the substitute teacher that lets the class run wild. He’s only going to be there a little while, so he couldn’t care less. He gets to play and run amock just like his students. Meanwhile, none of them have learned anything necessary except for cheating, lying, and common core. lol
You don’t recall the controversy a couple of years ago where they tried to get a Spanish language teacher to stop teaching the Spanish word for black?
I just call them “Democrats”
frijoles negros
Frivolous Blacks?
” ‘Porch Monkey.’ We’re taking it back.”
The real irony of it all is that 90% of the class regularly calls each other n****r!
