https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/tishomingo-cancels-homecoming-football-game-after-students-display-racial-slur-in-viral-image/ar-AA1qRmlj

Some community members on social media said the students depicted are football players for Tishomingo High School and that the photo was taken as part of spirit week for the school. On Monday, students were encouraged to wear a black shirt to receive a random Scrabble tile to attach to themselves.

So the school gave teenagers individual letters to wear, not thinking that they would spell out offensive words? Sounds like dumb kids being dumb kids.

I'll bet $100 right now that they also spelled every curse word under the sun as well.

There is a huge difference between a curse word and a slur.

Yep, agreed, but these are teenagers. I did not have much foresight as a teenager, either.

Right, the point is to let them be themselves & correct behaviors that society has decided are useless. Gotta give them the freedom to choose so that you can correct it, same as younger kids.
