Really???
Last night, Emily finished her report on "The Good Earth". I really don't like the book. I just don't. I find it ineffably depressing.
But it never, ever occurred to me to question that she has spent the last month studying this book - even though it deals with some pretty sexual topics.
And yet here's a California school district banning the dictionary because, guess what, folx, it has some words in it that are naughty. We certainly can't expose our tender youth to that.
They didn't just pull Webster's from primary shelves - they removed all dictionaries from all the schools in the district.
Better get rid of those calculators next. We can't have our kids exploring the wonders of 5318008 either.
And they seriously wonder why the US lags behind other "progressive" nations? Seriously? I can't imagine...
