COLORADO SPRINGS â A Colorado Springs charter school is apologizing after an assignment over a racial slur prompted backlash from parents, students, and community members.
Earlier this week, an 11th grader English Teacher at James Irwin High School gave students the assignment in preparation for an upcoming lesson. The assignment directed students to go over two forms of the N-Word and watch videos where they re used. Students were then asked to answer a series of questions, but some parents and students found the entire exercise racist and offensive.
