Aye... I feel your pain, BOR. At least the issue hasn't been resolved yet... there's a possibility that upon review, the principal will be reinstated and all will be right with the world again.

Of course I haven't seen the newspaper piece in question, but from the description, it is fairly clear that there was nothing in it worthy of censorship.

It's nice to see some young people dealing critically with the 'n-word' phenomenon rather than being a sad part of it (that is, using speech to confront and subvert racism as opposed to mindlessly perpetuating racism through their speech.)
