It isn't punishing for sins of the past, it's punishing for sins if the present. If your daughter calls a black classmate a slur today, then that happened today. The reason why it's bad has to do with a whole lot of history, but it was still said today.
Nobody is going around suspending students because their great granddaddy used a slur in 1840.
No my daughter doesn't say that. The black students taunt her and call her it and say she can't say it. She is respectful.
How is it taunting if she doesn't want to say it back? The entirety of her response could be, "Yep." It wouldn't be taunting for someone to tell me, "You can't do nuclear physics." I would agree with them and be slightly confused why they were apparently out of the blue stating it.
If she's truly being randomly bullied, that's not going to be solved by telling black people they can't use that word. A bully would just say something else. This is a rather easy one to deflect.
Then what are you complaining about? A white girl saying "removed" is disgusting anyway. They might as well taunt her for not being allowed to eat feces. If she's a decent person she'll have the same inclination to do that as to say slurs.
