ThomasDenton 79 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 http://now.msn.com/petrona-smith-bronx-teacher-fired-for-saying-negro?ocid=ansnow11 A Spanish teacher in the Bronx was fired for using the word negro in a color lesson (and in case anyone didn't know, negro is the Spanish word for black). I'm guessing the student who reported her was failing the class. Aftiqudgsa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 I hope she wins her lawsuit. She is 65, and close to retirement. This should provide a good little nest egg for her if she wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Also, Dude, negro is not the preferred nomenclature. African-American, please. 1. She was a Spanish teacher teaching her students the meaning of "color words" en Espanol 2. En Espanol, blanco means white, rojo means red, negro means black 3. Nothing she said was referring to African Americans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
