Rejected petition Stop teachers (English) from being able to say The N word in literature
Stop English teachers from being able to say the n word whilst reading to the class
It is already morally incorrect and incorrect when you say it elsewhere so why should they be able to say it whilst reading?
More details
As a black person it is a sickening sound when a white teacher says N-word with out flinching so it should not be allowed to be said at all I would understand if that teacher is black but when a white teacher says it it is sickening
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The Government aren't responsible for the specific words people - including teachers - use, but it is already illegal to discriminate or abuse on the grounds of race.
If you want to complain about the behaviour of a teacher you should raise this with your parents or headteacher.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
