These middle school students pretended to rape black classmates on Snapchat

The Washington Post cited comments by Jody Armour of the USC Gould School on how each generation needs to relearn linguistic boundaries.

There are a myriad examples of young people stumbling over the hazy line between free speech and offensive language, Jody Armour, a law professor at the University of Southern California, told The Washington Post last year.

“It’s a process that we go through every generation — reteaching and relearning what the linguistic boundaries are,” Armour said. “It’s like every year or two I turn on the TV and I see, yet again, some college students learning that you can’t wear an Afro and blackface to the Halloween party.”
