Yes, that's right. Ban a single word instead of getting to the root of the cause. It's much easier to look like you're doing something rather than actually doing it!

Fuck schools and the idiots who run them.

My high school banned the word "sucks", as in "Censorship sucks" It was actually grounds for 1 day of after-school detention, IIRC.

I also got yelled at in middle school for saying "slug" (as in the slimy animal), but I think the teacher heard it as "slut". That same teacher also got incredibly upset when the students had to analyse song lyrics, at the lyrical content of rather tame songs like "All Star" and "He Loves You Not". I wonder what she'd think if she heard 50 Cent

...um. I wonder how many people just didn't go to the detentions for that.

Well, a lot of people didn't get caught

That school was rather fanatical about swearing though, maybe because of the huge evangelical Christian population. Someone else got in trouble for saying "Jesus Christ".

On second thought the pros might actually outweigh the cons on this one:

Its Danvers, what do you expect? That chunk of white suburbia has a dildo lodged so firmly in the farthest reaches of its ass that it's not even funny. I'm not even a little bit surprised. Glad I lived far enough from that shit when I was back in MA. Only thing more surprising is that it was Danvers High and not St. John's Prep. I'd give them credit but they'd probably ruin all credibility by doing something else completely retarded to negate that fact (although not half as bad as its similarly named "rival" which we won't talk about )

I dunno, makes sense to me. Just like mass standardized testing fixed the stupid problem.

Oh wait.

I actually think the education system as a whole is flawed in an incredibly large number of ways. But that's really neither here nor there ;x just saying...its got more holes in it than a block of swiss cheese

You know, Keitaro, I've been telling people that for years, but almost always got retarded crap thrown right back at me. In fact, I think that's how that slippery slope of ostracization happened over at my old forum started.

Yeah, the answer to ostracizers like that is to throw it right back at them and go "Yeah, you're acting like a jerk, here's what you sound like, now are you going to tell me your opinion or are you just going to stand here looking stupid?"

I threw off a number of annoying people with that one.

School people are all bullies, anyway, the ones who do petty things like this. They could just address it directly, but they're so afraid for being politically correct they just make all the wrong decisions to 'save face' for no reason.

I'm more troubled by the education system's over-reliance on police departments. Truant? Police. Leave campus? Police. Etc. Being held without a warrant for such actions doesn't seem like a good sign for our future...

Well I think the appropriate response to this is obvious:

MEEEEEEEEEP
