On a warm spring day at an Upstate New York high school, a substitute teacher witnessed a group of white students saying the unthinkable in the upper class liberal neighborhood, using the N-word.
“I was shocked and offended,” said the teacher who had only ever heard the word used by Dave Chappelle on one of his ‘raunchy’ Netflix specials.
But when the teacher (who has requested GWU! withhold her name) reported the incident to both the principal and head of the school’s Diversity Equity and Inclusion department, she learned that the white students had received something called an ‘N-word hall pass’ from the Black students.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR N-PASS
“I was told it’s a type of barter system,” explained the shocked temporary teacher. She explained how it works to GWU! in a jaw dropping interview. “Let’s say a Black student is late for class. Through a mutual favor or financial based deal a white student will take the detention in exchange for two days of using the N-word.”
One student told GWU! it’s “just a great word that can be used to describe so many things.” “Sometimes it’s a noun and other times a verb. The F-word is too Boomer for our generation,” he confided.
Although Black students don’t seem to mind, as long as they’re getting something in return, others, like liberal White woke parents, are calling on the school board to ban the word outright.
“The N-word represents a history of slavery and repression. Blacks may own the term, but they can’t be selling it to White people,” insisted one pedantic parent who asked to be quoted simply as ‘Karen’.
And while some on the school board, including a man who identifies as a woman are pushing for the words total ban like at many other schools in the state, Black parents are not so sure.
BLACK ENTREPRENEURSHIP
“Whitey felt no shame in selling Black people, why should the reverse be an issue,” added a Black parent who feels it’s time to reclaim and even commercialize the N-word as some entrepreneurial Black students are doing.
The problem for the school, however, is how to police the word.
The tattling temp teacher reveals that the issue was hotly debated at a recent staff meeting.
“Teacher’s were saying that they know how to solve ‘so-and-so called me a mean name’ issues at recess but Black kids selling offensive word usage to white kids, well, this is a whole new field of pedagogy.”
Tellingly, Black teachers aren’t willing to police the issue arguing that this is just one more thing added to their already heavy workload. “We don’t need to be knighted by white knighting admin,” complained one Black teacher at the tense staff meeting.
Our education insider snitches that one of the Black teachers was visibly upset with the principal and started shouting ‘Why is this my job – because I’m Black? I ain’t nobody’s N-Worder”
