There is never anything quite so ridiculous as a high school english teacher.
So full of themselves.

Barack Obama is [president] of the United States, and novels that use the 'N-word' repeatedly need to go," Let's start with hip hop, shall we?

An American English teacher has called for novels which use the word "nigger" to be removed from the high school curriculum now that Barack Obama has been elected president.But of course, all the books that use the word "cracker" will remain.

Ignorant bastard has never heard of Joseph Conrad’s “The Nigger of the Narcissus”!
Oh, right -— his “profession” is American literature...

I hope he includes the term guilt-ridden white males of
unknown sexual leanings!

So these teachers want students NOT to be taught about the racism of the past? Interesting. I thought all libs wanted to drone on and on about it and never let anyone forget for a second that it happened.

And it’s time for the “Jefferson’s” to be taken off the air for their use of “honkey” and “cracker”. John Wayne because he says “injuns”. “Tora, Tora, Tora” = japs. “Driving Miss Daisy” = colored. “Goodfellas” = wap. (what a dips##t)

No offense to teachers (I work at a school district) but he’s right, High school English teachers were SOOO cocky and arrogant.
What is it about SOME teachers thinking because of their profession that the world owes them something?
To: big black dog
classics of American literature such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men She being too stupid to realize each of these novels is (very effectively) anti-racist.
