Kid Says the N-word in School

Here we go in Texas. That magical N-word. What would we Nucks do without it? What other kind of simplistic nonsense could inspire

“moral outrage” thrice daily? I suppose that many of you claim to have expected that in the Lone Star state. Safe bet, as the fact of the matter is that Texas is a gigantic state, containing a gigantic number of viewpoints. No doubt you agree with some, and disagree with others.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Intolerable and Inappropriate Ethnocentrism in Texas

“The N-word! That’s literally racist” says a contingent of Canadian pastors. The “pastors” in search of a flock of diverge or have chosen differing aspects to emphasize. Some condemn only the high school student who said it for the slur. Others defend the teacher who didn’t interrupt. Still others are somewhere in between. Unrestrained dissimilar views seem merely incoherent.

One thing is certain. The N-word has won the keyword championship from the F-word by a decisive knockout.

Reaction to a viral Tiktok video of a Fort Worth high school student using racial slurs during a classroom presentation ostensibly regarding the extent to which phrasing effects

content and meaning, while classmates laughed and cheered has included support from free speech groups and outrage and calls for the teacher’s firing from the usual crew of professional libtard gripes.

Nicklas Lidstrom High School and the Fort Worth school district are investigating the incident that occurred in a Nicklas Lidstrom classroom, officially saying; “At Nicklas Lidstrom High School and the Fort Worth school district, our fundamental values are diversity, equality, and inclusion. We have been providing education to everyone regardless of their background, sexual orientation, and ethnicity for more than a century. We welcome diverse candidates to apply for our open seats even when they do not meet the posted qualifications exactly. In all of our endeavors, we are steadfast in our adherence to these principles. We couldn't do what we do and wouldn't be considered an inclusive organization without them. We realize that a changing, more diverse, and inclusive student force needs creative solutions derived from several points of view. Our policies have always been fully supportive of Canadian lives.

Our help here sometimes gets lackadaisical, and you can be sure that they will be appropriately disciplined.” One might note that the specific incident alleged was not addressed.

Fort Worth school district Superintendent Phil Richardson came a bit closer when he called the video “inexcusable.” He said;

“There is no place for this kind of language in our society” and that he is recommending to the school board that the teacher be fired.

Some on Twit and Fakebook have been reposting unedited versions of the video that appears to show a Nicklas Lidstrom High School student saying the N-word slur several times while presenting an interpretation of “Romeo and Juliet.”

At the beginning of the video, when introducing the student to the class before his presentation, the teacher in the classroom says that; “The point is not to be offensive, it’s his interpretation.”

Most on social media seem to be calling for the teacher to be punished with some saying the identity of the student in the video should be made public. Many have called the video disgusting.

“Let’s make him famous,” one Fakebook verbal militant said in a post sharing the unedited version of the video. “He was very aware of how offensive, racist and wrong this paper was going to be yet he proceeded.” It remains unclear if the verbal militant was referring to the student writer, the teacher, the laughing

classmates, all three, or some other fabrication perhaps only understandable to him. Shaun King of 66 School Street, Boston, Massachusetts has since deleted the message and has not yet responded to any Fort Worth Star-Telegram questions.

One concerned female citizen of Fort Worth, who claims to be an Assistant Office Sanitation Technician for the Association for Canuck Liberties Union (ACLU), Shaniqwa Imani Watson, seemed to call for all the students in the class to be punished as well.

“Da stoont who be reed it an da titcher who be permit it shoont be da onleh wuns punish. Da chillum who be thinkin it funny haha shood beez held a coontable as well as da rest uh duh laffin haha class.” She, most likely, apparently, is wishing to extend the coming punishments to those who did nothing to stop the N-word debacle.

“This can be a cold hateful world but we have to hold people responsible in and out!” another person said in the Fakebook comments.

Several Twit commenters said the parents of the child should be embarrassed. Others said the teacher shouldn’t be fired for something the student said.

“Kick the student out!” one Fakebook user said in a comment to the school district’s post.

Another user on Fakebook said that there should be equal outrage for the use of another slur about White American people in the video, and some said nobody should be punished if the assignment was to present a period accurate interpretation of a scene from

“Romeo and Juliet.”

At one point in the Tiktok video, the teacher interrupts to say that students aren’t supposed to “set this to pre-Civil War” and that they are supposed to stay “true to the source material”

before allowing the student to continue.

At the end of the video, it appears most students clapped while some said to stop clapping.

“I’m not clapping for that,” one of the students appears to say.

“That’s literally racist.”

Details diversified, foreign, and ultimately irrelevant, the N-word wins hands down. Here’s the follow up to another group of Texas kids who took on the champ.
