. . I simply must say, if what is written in the news story is true, I believe the teacher deserves to be suspended. It's one thing to ask a kid how he'd like to be called a nigger; it's quite another to walk back into the room saying, "I guess the nigger can come back in," which I find every bit as offensive as if he were talking about a gay kid and saying in front of students, "I guess the faggot can come back in."
I do agree, however, that the same disciplinary action should be taken in the latter scenario, and I do not believe it always would be. . .
