So... probably not a certified teacher. More likely a paraprofessional (teacher's aide). Shouldn't be too hard to get rid of her if they decide to do so.

She said nothing about brown people. It is as racist to lump the two groups together as it is to call one group by the name to which they refer to themselves on the majority of occasions.

I’ve posted about the subject before.

The worst part is that a certain race is allowed to use it with impunity, but all others are forbidden from uttering it.

Quite mind boggling.

But you’re cool with black teachers teaching kids that all whites are evil oppressors and racists.

Just like white people can call each other crackers with no repercussions. Its not racist unless someone of another race calls you the derogatory word. Not surprised you of all people dont understand that.
When has any black person suffered any consequences for calling a white person a cracker?

Bitch please.

I don't know any white people who use that word. Have there been repercussions for using that word beyond maybe a couple instances, maybe?

Amazing the amount of power one word has.

Can get you arrested in Europe or Canada. Likely get you fired from your job in the US.

Do you not think she should be fired for this?

Do you think white people do that? Besides, you can't go with a hard "er".

And if a black guy called my neighborhood crackerville I, as well as everyone else, would just laugh.

I’m sorry. I know wholeness is out of control, but this is just flat out fricking stupid. You HAVE to know better in today’s age and I have no sympathy for the teacher

Its a word for God sakes, she's stupid for not knowing what would happen but she probably is fed up with the hypocritical world we live in. Where only white people can be racist. If the word was so bad for blacks then nobody would ever say it in their communities. But they blast it every where you see blacks. You can't go to a local gas station without hearing it blasting from the speakers. People are tired of the bullshite and she probably said screw it im going to say what I want. Call me a honkey, cracker,whitey. It doesn't effect me you know why because I don't care what other people think about me. Its a word it doesn't define you. If its a really hurtful word for blacks then NOBODY should say it.

Of course she should. I don’t think anyone is arguing against that . But not for “racism”; just for being a fricking idiot.
