Ok people, it's time to start considering dumping public school if at all possible... (sigh) I mean I cannot afford private school, but if you have a very young child, you might keep it in mind for the future. Just read a story that the New York City schools are asking that certain words on tests not be used for fear of upsetting the children.
What words you ask?
Birthday (Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate them, so nobody else should know about it)
Dinosaur (people who don't believe in evolution might be offended)
Halloween (rumored to support Paganism and that bothers some)
Dancing (unless it is ballet dancing)
Computers (if mentioned that it's in a home - use in schools and libraries is ok)
Topics to avoid:
Divorce (could be from split marriage)
Disease (could have sick relative)
Wealthy people (could create jealousy)
Poverty (poor kids offended)
Slavery (obvious reasons)
Terrorism (too toxic)
Can you EVEN believe this? Is this not political correctness gone completely amok???
Where is sanity??
