NYC Bans Mention of Dinosaurs, Dancing, Birthdays On Student Tests
New submitter SchroedingersCat writes "New York educators banned references to 'dinosaurs,' 'birthdays,' 'Halloween' and dozens of other topics on city-issued tests. That is because they fear such topics 'could evoke unpleasant emotions in the students.' Dinosaurs, for example, call to mind evolution, which might upset fundamentalists; birthdays are not celebrated by Jehovah's Witnesses; and Halloween suggests paganism. Homes with swimming pools and home computers are also unmentionables — because of economic sensitivities. The city asks test companies to exclude 'creatures from outer space' as well — for unspecified reasons."
That's in the City where there are normal people.
The real freaks live upstate.
You are welcome on my lawn.
That's liberalism for you and all the politically correct BS that goes along with it. Coddled children grow up to be stupid sheeple that are just ripe to be controlled. If you even so much as dare show that you have a pair, they will cut them off. That at least is top priority in their view. Eunuchs! All of you!
Life is not for the lazy.
It is the religiously conservative parents that coddle children you retard. Liberal parents don't tend to beat their kids for doing minor bad things (ie, opposite of coddling), but I suppose you'll ascribe anything to liberals because, to you, it's now just a word that represents everything bad whether they actually represent real world liberals or not.
Those who do not learn from commit history are doomed to regress it.
