This is ridiculous! I doubt anyone under the age of 40, even knows ‘coon’ is an archaic slur. In “Gran Torino”’ Clint Eastwood had to use ‘spook’ because the n word is too controversial. Spook is another ancient slur no longer used in common language. This thought crime crap is crazy!

Agreed.

There was another incident recently when they accused some kids of using racial slurs, or calling someone a name. The kids had NO idea the words were bad. They weren't of the correct generation. It was the adults that got all bent out of shape.(wracking my brain to remember, but cannot)

They should check the lyrics to the song Colored Spade from the Broadway musical, Hair.

Maybe he thought it was Eric Cartman.
