What sort of dialogue have you created around this issue? Have you done any research on restorative circles and how you can discuss this issue as a class? Students who use this word as a way to bond with others culturally will feel as if they can’t bring parts of themselves to your class if you just do a blanket ban. You need to have a conversation with the class as a whole to discuss what’s going on. Also do not go in with the goal of compliance from your students but rather with the intention that they all leave with a better understanding of where others are coming from. Use this as an opportunity to connect your students.

Why do white women (and I bet this is a white woman) give this sort of wishy-washy advice that isn't intended to solve anything? She knew that a good portion of the class already wasn't comfortable with the g*mer word being used, yet she still told the teacher to let the students "talk it out"? She didn't even say that the discussion should be steered towards a certain conclusion. What if, after a very mature and respectful discussion I'm sure, the students still disagree with each other? Or worse, what if the students become hostile towards one another? Why do these people find the idea of using authority to set boundaries so anathema and treat everything in life as one giant therapy session? :marseyretard:

Back in first or second grade, we were playing chess and being a preautist, I commented "I'll be black like Levi". He called me a racist.

Also got detention once because I accidentally bumped into some stupid 'fence plank painted like a person" outside the classroom door. It didn't break or even fall completely over, just leaned against the wall.

Why am I remembering these things?

got in trouble for calling another Mexican kid "my beana."

Based and punishing-you-for-sounding-like-Carlos-Mencia-pilled.

I'm part Mexican, and lived in the Southwest, but I've honestly heard every other slur in person, but I've only heard 'Beaner' from Carlos Mencia, and I guess a couple people after Mencia seemed to make it prevalent.

I don't know why I'm typing this. I guess I just hate Carlos Mencia.
