    Lynch would have been much funnier and maybe even worth an apology, but linch?

    I think the people complaining and the school apologising are only perpetuating the stereotype that black people are less literate and unable to recognise that linch isn't even a word worth getting offended about.

    Aw. Well to be honest I didn't really know how to spell lynch before reading the article (never really had a chance to use it in polite conversation). So I'm just thinking about all the students who saw this and immediately thought the worst.
