America is just going to get dumber
Fearing that certain words and topics can make students feel unpleasant, officials are requesting 50 or so words be removed from city-issued tests.
The word “dinosaur” made the hit list because dinosaurs suggest evolution which creationists might not like, WCBS 880′s Marla Diamond reported. “Halloween” is targeted because it suggests paganism; a “birthday” might not be happy to all because it isn’t celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses.
It’s not just they are pandering to idiots with invisible friends. They are also banning words such as “Witchcraft”, “Cancer”, “Computers at home” and “Rap music”. What’s next? Banning unpleasant ideas? How can these people call themselves educators?
