"We are here today to say we will not tolerate the n-word being used by any educators anywhere in any school district throughout our region or the state of Texas," said Ron Price, a Dallas school district trustee.

One is left to wonder at Mr. Price's opinion of rap music and the language it uses. Clearly he never read the book, none of these idiots has.

And so a great work of literature is cleansed from the public schools and replaced w/ PC panderings.

So, what's offensive? The word itself? A word is just a bunch of letters to represent sounds. Words are nothing without meaning. It's ridiculous.

It it what the word represents? The bigotry and stupidity? That's reasonable. But in the context of a work that attacks bigotry and stupidity the word should carry no offense.

Then we're left with this bureaucrat saying "n-word." If the word is bad no matter what, then so is using a euphemism for it. Fire this bureaucrat for being insensitive.
