My son got in trouble for saying "Negro"....

...at school, when referring to the United Negro College Fund. He simply asked what the difference was between a black person and a negro.
Got pulled into the hallway and was told "we don't use the word negro"..... I'm having a chat with the principal tomorrow morning. No news cameras.
What in the hell is happening to this country? Sad....

That's nuts. Beyond nuts. What are you supposed to do? Make up a new name for it? Ridonculous as my kids would say.

You want to see just how bad it is ... Defend it matter of factly as you state and listen for the reasoning. place is going to shite at warp speed

Just saying, when I got in trouble as a kid I always stretched the truth a little when telling the story to my parents so it's possible your son actually committed a hate crime

I was almost expecting this to be from Spanish class when naming colors...!

I had a HS teacher tell me last week that she had to have a discussion with one of her white students about how people of color can't be racist.

Guessing it wasn't Spanish class.

Negro is a color.

Technically she's correct. That is the difference.

He didn't get in trouble , he was asked to refrain from saying negro.
The teacher probably thought he was trying to be a little shite by playing dumb (he probably was). This isn't a big deal.

I guess this explains why the can of Frijoles Negros in my pantry had on a white hood .

The word negro hasn't been used in polite conversation since probably the 80's. Get with the times, grandpa.
