Even Julian Bond, the NAACP chairman, found Howard’s resignation ridiculous. Bond said, "Seems to me the mayor has been niggardly in his judgment on this issue. You hate to think you have to censor your language to meet other people’s lack of understanding."
Even Bond understands the word showing that these offended parents are even beyond ignorant.

And now for the rest of the news....
Three feminists have demaded the firing of the Santa Claus at the 37th Street Mall. They claim that he insulted and sexually harrassed them when he addressed them as "Ho, Ho, Hos".

Naturally this happens all the time in schools. And yes, there's a lot of ignorant parents out there, just like this one.
To: gitmo
Oops! There goes "fucus" and "cunctation"! Try those in the fourth grade...
To: gitmo
"Ungenerously small or scanty"Sounds like pretty much sums up the argument of the lady that wants the teacher fired so I guess that makes her niggardly.
To: strela
I give up. What offensive word does "donkey" sound like? I'm either deficient in slur vocabulary, or my mind isn't firing on all cylinders today.

What really irritates me, aside from the ignorant parents, is that the damn principal didn't back up one of his/her teachers!
To: alisasny
The offended parents in this school are too niggardly to buy a dictionary. The offended parents in this school are too niggerly to read a dictionary.
