FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“I asked them what would they feel if I used that word? I used the full
word but I didn’t address it to the students. I was very careful about that,”
he explained.
The school board has dismissed his lawsuit as “without merit” and
added in a statement: “The principal determined that the way the
teacher used the word was improper.”
The row has prompted debate, with some of the students’ parents commending Mr
Brown for turning an offensive incident into a “teachable moment”
and others complaining that he went too far in using a historically
offensive term.
“It is hard for a black person to embrace a ‘teachable moment’ from a
white person who actually says “n*****” wrote Mary Mitchell, a
Chicago Sun Times columnist, who has won awards from the National
Association of Black Journalists and is noted as one of the city’s 100 most
influential women.
She added: “I agree that it makes no sense that blacks can use this slur
with impunity, while there is hell to pay when a white person uses it. But
nothing about this vile slur makes sense.”
Mr Brown has taught in predominantly African-American
schools for more than 25 years and said that he followed advice given by the
Southern Poverty Law Centre – a respected civil rights organisation – to
help guide his discussions with students.
“I have no regret over the way I handled it, but not everybody agrees,”
he lamented. “It’s a hot-button issue.”
