Case: Racially charged comments for the sake of humor
Teens today use humor to mask a myriad of racial issues. It is not uncommon to hear a student say "Thanks, Obama" to something that has nothing to do with our President or for an African American students to claim "racism!" with a big smile on their face over something that clearly had nothing to do with race. Many teens love the Key and Peele comedy shorts that plays off of this type of humor as well. As teachers, how should we address this or use it? Is their humor healthy or counterproductive?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a high school teacher, I have witnessed this same type of hatred. Within my classroom, I always address these types of comments with my class as a whole. This allows for an open discussion that has lead to a more acceptable attitude from many students. In many cases the students are mimicking others actions, such as Key and Peele, and do not realized how hurtful they can be. |

| Comments: I really like your idea of an open discussion, it would allow for people to hear other point's of views and reasoning instead of just doing these behaviors to mimic others. |
