» N The N-Word T-Shirt?

The ACLU has thrown its weight behind an eight-year-old Long Island girl who came to school with an N-word-protesting shirt and was forced to change. The girl wore the shirt, which said "N the N-Word. It's time!" because her mom liked the message and thought that it looked nice on her. School officials said that whether the message was positive or not, a white girl wearing a shirt with anything involving "the n-word" on it at a predominately non-white elementary school was unnecessarily inflammatory. I would offer my opinion on this if I knew what the hell "N the N-Word" is supposed to mean. No to the n-word? Nix the n-word? Never the n-word? [ND]
