You need to thank T. A. Gardner for that.

Now that we have established that the image is real and where it came from, now the onus is to prove that that school is using that image and teaching that to those kids.

Snopes: mixture.

Not at that particular school until we know otherwise. I have a feeling that the person who posted the image lied about it.

It is not a bad idea to teach kids that some people are offended when you use some epithets. Kids say things they should not, but they should know it can cause them problems.

Yes, the image is being used at the Harvard-Westlake School. The Twitter account is one that is anonymous and posted on by students.

I'd say the evidence is extremely good that it is genuine.

according to an Instagram account

In other words, the source is still the same - an instagram or a tweet.

Not enough evidence. Why cannot we find it anywhere other than the site I linked?

Even if it's true, what, exactly, is the problem? Nobody has ever explained.
