School hate-crime suspension to be probed

A 9-year-old boy from a Phoenix elementary school has been suspended after the school determined he engaged in racial harassment by using the term "brown people."

After reading that article I can't believe the 9 year old was suspended. How politically correct have we become?

I don't understand why we call folks white, black, yellow, brown, and red.

I prefer (in the same order) pink, brown, wheat, tan, and bronze.

Over on the Immigration Forum, there's been quite a heated discussion of the "Brown Pride" movement, and its website. Could we put this 9-year-old in touch with THEM? Maybe one of them could "enlighten" the other side (no pun intended)...just a suggestion. Trying to figure out whether "brown" is a compliment, or a slur---or, if it's BOTH, when, and how, does it "change"...

The suspension is just another example of how the system thinks its their job to brainwash children into their mold.

When me and my wife have children, we REALLY want to homeschool them. My wife had horrible experiences in schools out west that were more liberal than were I grew up, and it seems like the whole nation is getting infected with the plague of PC.

My nephew in Hawaii got in trouble for calling a classmate a "chocolate girl". He was 6 years old and wasnt trying to insult her and she took no offense-in fact according to his teacher, the two kids laughed about it and continued playing in the sandbox, but the teacher sent him to the Principal's office cause she was incapable of teaching him herself.

Sign of the times I guess. Like I had no idea that the word "retarded" was politically incorrect. I just found that out not too long ago.

Everything and every word is politically incorrect to someone. The people of this country need to get over it and forget the idiot PC crowd and say and do what they will and stop being bullied by the elites and the sociaethnic groups trying to make do their bidding.
