Can we use that word?

The term "liberty" will be banned immediately as it is clearly double-plus-ungood. You may get back to watching your two minutes of hate.

Probably no more than are already wasted in the NYC public school system.

The idea that educators would even consider this nonsense makes me want to...

Notice anything missing from this thread...?

Political Correctness gone amuck and running haywire.

Here's my lesson for the day for the morons running schools in NYC. It quick and simple. Takes about 10 seconds to learn.

Among all the lessons on the Constitution and Bill of Rights that your teachers aren't teaching to young impressionable minds, there is one not written down that all should understand.

Contrary to the beliefs of libs who love free speech (if it agrees with the liberal mindset), there IS NO RIGHT TO NOT BE OFFENDED by something somebody says or writes. Put on your grown-up pants and deal with it. Don't write rules saying that these words are forbidden, you dopes.

Here is how it will play out:

Abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological) - OK when talking about men abusing women, children or animals. Otherwise, can't say it.

Alcohol (beer and liquor), tobacco, or drugs - OK when talking about how evil tobacco companies are, and OK when talking about medicinal marijuana.

Birthday celebrations (and birthdays) - Barack Obama's birthday is OK, George Washington's birthday isn't OK

Bodily functions - OK to discuss abortion, and the need for it. But no fart jokes!

Computers in the home (acceptable in a school or library setting) - OK to discuss when giving instructions on how to donate online to Obama, or to organize Union protest.

Crime - Only white on black crime is acceptable to discuss.

Death and disease - only when talking about Global Warming

Divorce - OK when discussing Mother's right, but not OK when discussing Father's rights

Homelessness - OK to talk about during Republican adminstrations, otherwise, it doesn't exist.


Got bored. Carry on.
