a spelling lesson

"One of the girls called another girl a derogatory term that starts with an H if you are spelling it in the slang manner and with 'wh' if you're spelling it in proper English." said the Mayor of Lynn in commenting about a fight between 2 girls that got they and the 27 watchers suspended and given an assignment to write a paper about the Kitty Genovese murder where onlookers did nothing to teach them a lesson. One student said the lesson she learned is not to watch what they consider stupid fights.
