A school district actually banned the dictionary

LOL, that's pretty silly. These same kids have access to the internet which contains stuff that I had never even heard of when I was in elementary school. The average elementary school student can find more porn on their phone in 5 minutes than most people have ever seen. I think that horse left the barn a ling time ago.

Oh man...
Maybe we should make a 'lite' version of the 'dikshunary' just for Cali... I love how they are going to read the whole thing now cover to cover to see how many offensive words are listed :rolleyes: I know, let's ban English altogether and start using NewSpeak :D That would be doubleplusgood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Newspeak_words |

Upon careful reading, the school district isn't banning all dictionairies. Just the collegiate version.

My 6 year old kids have no idea what porn or sex is. I don't think they even have a clue what the words mean. Having access to or understanding what sex / oral sex / porn, etc. is, is different for say 5 to 7 year old kids than for 11 to 12 year old kids. |

As far as I'm concerned, banning the dictionary is a nod to lazy parents and teachers who don't want to take the time to actually discuss such matters as sex or foul language with their children. And in that laziness they're taking away a sea of interesting benign language that could expand a child's ability to communicate and think in a creative manner. |
Really? Kid culture is so messed up these days anyways, theres no way of protecting your kid unless you home school. 12 years ago, at age 9 we somehow knew what blow jobs were... dont ask me how haha.

Censorship has been alive and well in this country for some time now.
don't like what a book or a writing says? the easiest way to put a muzzle on your opponent is to simply ban them or the ideas they profess. simple and effective. IMHO, banning the Merriam Webster Dictionary is a new paradigm. oh, wait, we'll merely write our own dictionary with our own definitions. a "public" education system is open to the political whims of "policy" makers. what might be taught in California isn't going to make it into the school system in Texas and vice versa. I've noticed a rather large increase in the number of private schools, i.e. Goddard, etc. wonder why? |
I'm not exactly sure why that would be in the dictionary.
oral sex orange paint skanky whore Is anal sex in that same dictionary? |
I would conclude the vast majority of "people" directly responsible for withholding knowledge {banning books} are the same who cannot enjoy the pleasures they complain about being described therein.
In support of some posts above, it's true....the computer generation is a helluva lot more "worldly" in terms of sexuality and behavior that they can access. Which is not to say they will ever experiment with it. At such a young age many of them consider such stuff weird anyway. |

Either they can read it from a more clinical source or there is their BFF who can explain it. You choose. |
