Thread: A Beavis and Butthead moment in Californian schools

Huh-huh, he said "dictionary"... 'Oral sex' definition prompts dictionary ban in US schools | Books | guardian.co.uk is just too funny, in a very sad way.

Lukily they don't tech kids to spll at that age animore eiter!

Good move. If they have dictionaries they might learn how to read. If they can read who knows what type of smut they might get into. (sarcasm doesn't translate well in written words)

And people ask me why I left...

Hah, thats quite dumb.

You should go back in a few years. You could very well be the smartest man there.

Wonderful. Administrators, educated beyond their intelligence. I think sadly typical.

Wonder how many kids that age will drop what they are doing, AKA playing games and such, and go look up "oral sex" when they hear it on the play ground or somewhere else.
There is an old saying : The forbidden fruit taste the sweetest.

The thing that makes me laugh here is that on the one hand theres people banning the dictionary because of smutty word definitions, and then theres all these requests by various bodies and institutions here in the UK to start sex education at age seven and to teach kids about "alternatives" to sex and so on...

I wish they'd get the message straight. Either you want kids to know about these things, in which case keep the dictionaries, or you don't, in which case stop teaching them about sex before they're even into double digits age wise.

Any kid that finds it already knows what it is.
Any kid that reads a dictionary cover to cover is
welcome to stumble on it....
