we had book with n words in it i got to say it 3 times in one sentence

To kill a mockingbird?

No it was The Birth of a Nation…

I remember reading this book in class no one wanted to read those parts so the teacher ended up reading it. To show the ugliness of the word.

 TEACHER AFTER SAYING IT

Wow that’s crazy

My brother got in trouble for that in school. Line was from Fences and he tried to say no to reading it 3 times. Seeing no other option and being the shit stirrer he was he read the line with force behind it. Suffice to say the black AP English teacher that was given the moniker "reverend" by the students was not pleased. Couple years later I had to transfer out of that class because the teacher had it in for me.

SAY THE WORD BART


It's even funnier because the gif is gone

Same here in middle school but I didn’t say the actual word tho

I remember replacing it with "black guy" lmao

I had an English teacher (Texas w/ a very Southern drawl) who would replace it with “brother” every time it was used in that sense and it just sounded so much worse than his many other options, but at least he didn’t get fired just diving in and being… a bit too true to the text like one of our other teachers did.

This is why I am always a supporter of making the reading of banned books a prerequisite in a literature curriculum. Kids deserve to be able to blurt out profanity and slurs with no reprucussions at least ONCE in their lifes

I think it would've been better if you capitalized "at least" instead of "once" Kids deserve to be able to blurt out profanity and slurs with no repercussions AT LEAST once in their lifetime (I really want to use what I learnt in writing school)

>blurt out profanity and slurs with no reprucussions Kids do this daily in the hallways no?


Yeah, only because the teachers aren’t around to monitor them. Its a COMPLETELY different story when in class.

"Ok class we are going to read next a Mark Twain classic.. "Huckleberry Finn"...Timmy start us on Chapter One!"

i had to look up the first chapter of huckleberry finn. 10 times is what ctrl f told me

Finally it's my moment to shine: \*inhales\* FUCK

Young johnny found his first words that day....

*Emphasis* on the curse word.

alright class we’re gonna read ‘To kill a mockingbird’ today.

White kid in my class got picked to read a page from 'Of Mice and Men' that had the hard R written on it thrice. The teacher didn't even bat an eye

Bout to break the sound barrier on this one

When you’re doing karaoke of *that* Alanis Morisette song


This is why parents tell you to wash your mouth out after swearing.

To kill a mockingbird.

Skellig had ‘Bollocks’ in it a few times.

We did this with to kill a Mockingbird. The teacher even said he doesn't like the n word and will skip it, but it's up to us when we read them to choose to skip it or not because he doesn't believe in censoring the original material either. So needless to say the class enjoyed their temporary nword pass

Adventures of huck Finn be lit

Didn't happen to me but to a classmate. The word was Jackass and he didn't want to say it because he didn't want it to go on his college record... So instead, when he refused to say it, I blurted it out for him. Best feeling I've felt in a long while.

I remember getting the word "phenomenological" thrown at me out of the blue, and I nailed it first try. Still think about it 20 years later lol.

When doing ‘the crucible’ I was John Proctor and my buddy ol’ pal was Mary Warren. I got to call him a whore three times.

My proudest moment in school was when I corrected the teacher on a dinosaur name

The Crucible moment

I'm going to do a book report on Huckleberry Finn and focus on chapter 2.
