Well, we can't teach "To Kill a Mockingbird" here because it has the n-word in it. I don't really object because there are other books to teach that don't centre liberal white people, and it's not like it's banned or anything. What I do object to is that this year, I've been advised rather strongly not to show things like Desmond Cole's "The Skin We're In" because it has the n-word in it and might trigger someone. It is a documentary about anti-Black racism in Canada created by a Black journalist and the word is uttered by a Black man describing his experiences of racism.

Thanks for the podcast recommendation! I love Jon Ronson and always need new podcasts.
