My co-teacher and I spent our entire morning prep period reading through our next class read-aloud (about slavery in Colonial America), and proactively crossing out every occurrence of the n-word before reading it to the children.

Because as we all know, if we never talk about it, especially in an educational setting where we can explain the historical context and discuss how we as humans have evolved since, then they’ll definitely never hear it anywhere else, which will certainly make it as if it never even happened, and therefore it will 100% never happen again.
