I was really shocked when one of my kids used it and didn't understand why I lost tiny mind at them and gave them a detention. I explained in great detail and they were massively shocked and upset once they realised what they were doing. It is I think similar to some racist terms - people or obviously in my experience children haven't got a clue of the history, I find in my job I am always teaching them about the history of words and what they mean. It worries me.

You would have thought after the first time, everyone else would have checked their lyrics - I get that the history of the word isn't as well known in the US as it is here, but there's such a thing as learning from someone else's mistakes....beanielou said:
