    Better Watch what you say or teach as you might be considered Racist

    Better Watch what you say now days as you might be considered Racist


    I guess we should pass a law that that some words can never be used including all the other white, brown, ethic names...The N word is commonly used between some blacks in their conversations! Bad only when used by non blacks .

    St. John's pProfessor is 'fired after she quoted the N-word while reading from a Mark Twain novel' and students said hearing the slur was 'very painful'
    Hannah Berliner Fischthal was an adjunct professor at St. John's University

    She was fired two and a half months after an incident during a remote class where she read an excerpt from Pudd'nhead Wilson on February 10
    The satirical Mark Twain book is seen as a send-up of slavery and racism

    Despite her attempts to contextualize the quote before reading it, at least one student claimed to leave the class after she said the N-word
    Fischthal then led a discussion about it before being suspended on March 5

    A spokesman for the school pushed back against the assertion that Fischthal was fired because of the quote

    Most people don't realize that particular word is a homonym. Or they stubbornly refuse to see it as one.

          How would it matter? "To," "Too," and "Two" are homonyms -- are they banned, too?
