    There's *almost* never a good reason to use the n-word, but this is a textbook example of how zero tolerance requires you to just turn off your brain completely.https://twitter.com/Schneider_CM/status/1184895489302581249 …

    Current controversy at my daughter's high school: Student calls a black security guard the n-word. Security guard says "don't call me a [n-word],"gets fired for violating the district's zero-tolerance policy on racial slurs. Absolutely insane. https://madison.com/news/local/education/local_schools/outrage-grows-in-firing-of-madison-west-high-school-security/article_8aab312d-ee4d-5149-9cf3-fa68aff58629.html?fbclid=IwAR0-8KZaDLNOXV4pNt7_3kvjJy7QdFiiZDxqpO2T7AF1eLBhPVQkEUGOko4#utm_campaign=blox&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social …

        I think the societal prohibition on using the word is silly. When we discuss a word, we should be able to use it. But it isn't a slur against me so I defer. Still, I think we give the word more power when we so militaristically avoid it.

        Things like this are how kids in grade school get suspended for the shape they eat their poptart. Zero tolerance policies are moronic. Why lock yourself into a course of action before knowing any details, let alone before an incident even happens. It's just dumb

        A wise person once told me zero tolerance policies were really about enabling zero thought.
