Racial Slurs in Virginia

Juslena Williams, a former student of Heritage High School in Virginia has started a petition with well over 1,300 signatures on behalf of her former history teacher, Mrs. Lynne Pierce. Pierce was put on administrative leave after a student reported her to the principle for using the "N word" in a predominately black school. This all started when a student in Pierce's APUSH class didn't understand the controversy about the Washington Redskins football team. Pierce replied, "What would you think if someone started a team called the Newport News N-----r?" The petition states that "She is a history teacher, she cannot be censored for teaching terms and beliefs that people had throughout history," that muttering the "N word" in a discussion about derogatory terms is not wrong.
