Teacher punished for using the T word

[Belsnickel]

What we're seeing here is a result of some of the dog whistles used by people when describing people they don't like. It takes a word or phrase that, on its face value, does not have any discriminatory/prejudicial intent behind it and ends up making that the inference for a community. It's the result of us pushing the sort of behavior into private while not actually addressing the systemic issues that foster the type of attitudes that cause the behavior in the first place. But that is something that takes actual work and it is a whole lot easier to just implement the PC Police rather than get anything done to treat the causes of it all.
