Well it's only for a standardized test, thankfully. Granted you'd think science tests would like to use a word like dinosaur... but I can see their motive of banning it because some kids might feel uncomfortable with certain words on that list (cancer, divorce etc for example). Making sure it is completely unbiased and un-offending is the entire purpose of having it standardized

Is there anything more useless in this world than standardized tests?

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-

that's an easy question to answer...THE NBA!

after reading other google links, based on their justifications they should probably remove NEW from New York. New might hurt the feelings of some kids that never get anything new.

Who cares? They're just removing some words from some tests.

The title is misleading but there are plenty of ridiculous things being banned in school. Birthday parties, valentines day.... Seems like anything is believable anymore. Sad.



No apparently nothing is believable in school anymore. Next thing to go is the hope for a good education it it's not gone already.

LOL @ public "education"!





Your uncle butt-f**king you behind the barn isn't what "education" means.
