6th through HS and into college in my experience. But that's why I extended it past the n-word itself. When do we teach about the c-word? I wouldn't feel comfortable in a classroom with a majority of males reading from a book that called a woman a C*** 219 times in high school. Even if that book were a classic as Huck Finn, I'd doubt we'd teach it to 6th grader.
