Hi Fly Ladies!

Have you ever been in class and you felt like the teacher crossed the line when trying to prove a point? Well, many felt like Lincoln Brown did when talking to his class. Brown  is a Caucasion teacher in Chicgao who used the n-word in front of his sixth grade students. He was recently suspeneded from Murray Language Academy for five dyas due to his inappropraite language.

Brown suggests that he used the word to teach a lesson to the students and wanted to open up a discussion on racism in America. When using the word the school principal overheard him and strongly disagreed with his teaching techniques.The principal believed using verbally abusive language to or in front of students  is cruel and unacceptable.

Brown says he was triggered to use the word when he caught a student passing a note with a rap lyric that refers to another student using the n-word. He took this as an opportunity to get students thinking about how influential words and stereotypes can be in society.

He says that the accusation is damaging to his reputation as an educator and “cannot be a part of who people think [he is].”Brown has now filed a federal lawsuit against the school district, alleging that this suspension violates his first and fifth amendment rights.

Do you think he was wrong fro using that word?

So Girls, have you ever felt like a teacher has ever crossed line in your classroom?
