Teachers pranking publically in a middle school about KKK lynchings in a minority district school or suicide should be taken as offensive.

Yes that's probably more of a concern than a few ignorant students.

A walk in oven could trigger anxiety about accidentally walking in when the door self-locks behind you and the heating function starts automatically....or is it just me :skull:

Oh look everyone I posted a picture of a noose ( and it's not the first time either )

I'm clearly a racist as well as an Islamophobe , I wonder how much worse I can get


Yes that attitude works fine with the white students but probably not with the 45% of students in the school who were African American.

To be fair I tend to agree the pranksters probably didn't intend this reaction but there's plenty of examples of educational institutions where it's less ambiguous

As for the noose image, I would find that triggering, not only because it’s racist, in that context, but it would suggest that someone, like myself, who’s not very stable in the best of times, should hang themselves and rid the general population of those of us that are not mentally stable.

As for the walk-in oven, the context suggests an industrial application. If this same oven were to appear at Dachau or Auschwitz, that’s a whole different story.

If seeing a picture of a noose triggers you into believing it's a message to hang yourself you should get help for that if you can dude.

The context might have been suicide not KKK lynching

A back to school necklace is another name for a noose. This is due to the utter despair you feel when school starts back up again

I retract...overreacted to the kiddies

Although suicide memes don't engender much positive vibes but I guess that's teenagers for you...
