Hoover High School teacher placed on leave for using racial slur in classroom

[OldWiseGuy]

However, arguing that rarity should govern response is ridiculous. Actions taken to address preventable deaths are not often based on rarity. A child drowning in a pool is not common, but there are still laws in place to mitigate the common causes of children drowning (like requiring fences at a certain height). Will this stop all drownings? No. But it lessens drownings. Just like texting laws will not stop all distracted drivers, but it does lessen the number of accident. I often wonder what it's like to live in a world where you see something wrong, but don't wish to take any steps to improve it, I guess that's why I science research.

Huh?

Whoever suggested that Democrats cannot be racist?

Conservative republicans.

Then she could have expressed that in, oh, maybe any other way than dropping a racial slur.

Avoiding using obvious racial slurs isn't exactly difficult, and shouldn't be too much to ask.

Agreed. The curious part is that at least one kid recorded this incident...which makes me wonder if the teacher did this sooften that the kids expected it.
