It's a French dictionary. It's probably: Ni-Gare.

IIRC a DC Councilman lost his job over using that word.

And I’d bet every one of their parents is a college professor. Milton’s is a very affluent community.

That website and the demands are a complete joke. The article also spells out eight demands multiple times. The referenced website 'here are our seven demands for the district'.

The list of grievances is a handful since 2020, most of which were handled in a way that seems absolutely reasonable. They also have a note that the claims were not verified, nor were they all reported to the school. I am going to assumed the unresolved ones weren't reported and the testimonials was a 'look how evil this place is'.

They reference white guilt programs used by districts across the country as what they want their district to adopt. They are also apparently upset a teacher was suspended for threats against police during the summer of Love in 2020, and that the district no longer has a dedicated diversity and inclusion specialists that only works at that school. This is nothing more than virtue signaling by some New Englanders so they can say look how progressive we are.

Respond to it with riots, vandalism, looting and killing white people, as usual. Protect yourself from it by making words illegal. But only the words you don't like.

If you need protection from a word, then baby shite doesn’t begin to describe how soft you are.

Oh I don’t know, maybe try ignoring it and going on with your lives you fricking fragile idiots.

It’s a fricking WORD, this isn’t Freddy Krueger sleeping underneath your beds every night.

Oh, for goodness sakes, the drama and handwringing in this “Narrative advancing” piece is nauseating.
