CHANGE BY ANY OTHER NAME


The New York Brit brought this story to my attention.

Greg Howard, a Florida middle school teacher, has been suspended without pay after he used the n word in class to describe Senator Barack Obama.
Howard asked his students what 'change' stood for and proceeded to write out the acronym 'change'- come help a nigger get elected.
How sensitive.

Howard then taught his students about milk, milk, lemonade, where fudge is made, where to get a tootsie roll, and a strange but true story about a man from Nantucket.
