So, the student wanted to play a song that used the "N-word," but gets offended that the principal mentioned the word to explain why the song couldn't be played?

No wonder our country is going down the tubes.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Doug Leist, the principal of Kings High School first used the N-word in January during a staff meeting days after a basketball team that included King students wore jerseys bearing racial slurs. In a discussion about countering racism, Leist was heard using the word.

Then, in September, the principal reportedly repeated it to a black student who wanted to play a pep rally song that contained the N-word. In that discussion, Leist reportedly used the word three different times to convey why it was inappropriate.

“He could’ve easily said ‘the N-word’ or ‘inappropriate language’ and I would have got the point,” the student said, according to the Enquirer. “I was extremely uncomfortable.”

The NPC code doesn't have an exception statement so it breaks when presented with examples of legitimate uses of the term, ie any non-pejorative usage not directed at a person or group of persons.'

Then you get this bizarre obviously wrong output.

And all the NPCs stand around confused and don't know how to process any further information.

IF victim=null THEN "MY FEELZ! OR "Rayciss!" OR "Literally Hitler!"

These people who shiver at the mere mention of a word are pure mentally ill sissies looking for attention.

Freedom of speech? Who wants to put him in jail?

You guys still don’t know how the first amendment works?

The student’s parent made a complaint about Mr. Leist’s use of the word, stating that it made the student feel uncomfortable. Upon investigation and interviews with the student, the student’s parent, and Leist, it was discovered that the use of the derogatory term was used only when the student specifically asked which word in the song was inappropriate.

That's because you have integrity, which unfortunately is slowly disappearing in today's society.

Who determined who and when one can or cannot use the n-word or any other word? I say you can use and decide when to use any word you want.
