I wonder if the HS journalism students used the word nigger or the replacement N-word. I think that the use of N-word is more offensive than nigger because it tends to suggest that the word is so offensive that the uttering of it in serious dialog about its use is as bad as calling someone a nigger.
We need to teach society that there is no place for calling anyone anything racial instead of suggesting that certain words shouldn't ever be used in any form. Words seem to be big hangups for a good many people rather than the actions suggested by them.
