        From a liberal guy: This is a well-intentioned teacher assigning students with a meaningful topic. Political correctness run amuck.

        There is something terribly wrong with these teacher's. Coercing students to certain beliefs.

        The n-word, carries w it so much of the hatred n disgust toward Blacks. 👎 other American surname carries as much purposeful cruelty
