100: Hard R

The Suspended Teacher and the "Hard R" Distinction

A teacher at Valley Traditional High School was suspended after using a variation of the N-word toward a student. The teacher claimed he was trying to use the student's own slang to feel "comfortable," but the incident resulted in a 10-day suspension and mandatory diversity training. The hosts discuss the linguistic difference between the "Hard R" version and the "GA" ending.
