http://www.pe.com/localnews/menifee/stories/PE_News_Local_W_sdictionary22.414bdf0.html lol words of concern, the dictionary is now too racy for conservative christians. Seriously evangelics are vaguely better then taliban. And this was actually California too I think.
The bible talks about gay sex, those people better keep that out of their kids reach too. We wouldn't want to warp their fragile little minds with the truth.
you dont "stumble upon" oral sex in the dictionary, you fucking look it up! thats what a dictionary is for! hell, i had access to medical encyclopedias in my house growing up, and Joy of Sex was a coffee table book. if parents are too uptight and prude to explain things to their kids, then where are they gonna learn it? gimme a break. didn't everybody look up sex, ass, dick etc in the dictionary when they were kids? i pledge to raise my child to be intelligent, free thinking, and well informed about the world, before hes forced to live in it on his own.
I pledge to make my kids watch porn constantly from the age of 6 so they're the ones showing sexual words to other kids
i was begging to go with my parents to see rocky horror by the time i was 7. they took me for my 15th birthday. RHPS still gets me all hot and bothered "toucha toucha toucha touch me, i wanna be dirty!"
When i was a lil kid I though the dictionary was the bible.. I had this big one that had to be opened on the floor, it was my grandmas..
those big ones are the most fun to look stuff up in when you're little! like mickey in the sorcerers apprentice. how many kids are even taught how to use a card catalog anymore? taking away the dictionary, at least the kid was showing some initiative!
i just want o keep this one around a little longer, most news media hasnt picked up the story yet. bumpity bumpity bump, My life for you!
Freeman="words of concern". Iran,Russia,China,Myanmar,Viet Nam,ect,ect. Some similarity there,I'd say. Freeman-- you are not a cunning linguist.
There is seriously something wrong with that parent... That kid isn't going to learn too much in its life. Poor thing.. cant even look in a dictionary.
Definitely. If the dictionary is too saucy wouldn't stories of killing babies, rape, murder to take another man's wife, crucifixion, etc etc be a little too violent and risque for our youth. Plus it's not like the kid couldn't turn on half the channels on tv out there and actually watch the sex occurring. Parents like this are fucking bogus.
one article actually said the dictionaries were purchased to accommodate the higher level readers (i was a higher level reader as a kid, i love the dictionary!) i cant figure out if the parent found the word or the student did, the articles dont all match up, but it is so bogus that i dont think it matters.
I totally remember looking up "dirty" words when I was a kid. However, banning books is a very sore subject for me so in order to save internet space I am going to just say that it pisses me off. The fact that I don't go on a ramble here should show just how much it pisses me off. For those who know me.
I think that shit is stupid. I grew up with my nose in a dictionary... in school or out of school anytime i didnt know a word the first thing i was told was to go get the dictionary. That kid didn't go by it accidently i remember looking up penis and sex and stuff when i was little.. haha. I think every kid does it.
Exactly, I thought we were finally through with this pointless book censorship. That's like saying schools shouldn't teach The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because it's too racy. The abomination that is our education system wholly disgusts me.
