According to Salon.com, "The folks at Southern California's Menifee Union school district have taken steps to protect their children's innocent eyes from sexually explicit materials. Acting on a complaint from one parent after she noticed that the dictionary in her son's Oak Meadows Elementary School contained the phrase "oral sex," swift-acting school officials pulled the salacious work from fourth- and fifth-grade classrooms throughout the district."
Hahahahahaha...Hahahahahahha
Okay Parents, let's talk for minute. Your kids are sexting and thinking up "pregnacy pacts", but "oral sex" in the dictionary calls for "state of emergency"...ummm..right!
Well, if that is the case, you should probably turn the tv off, not buy video games, and invest in buying a spaceship that's going to take your kid off this planet, because sexually explicit things will be in their face forever...sorry to disappoint.
District spokeswoman Betti Cadmus told Southwest Riverside News that after the mother complained to the school principal, the district decided to temporary remove the books."We are grateful that the parent who saw something sexually graphic brought it to our attention," she explained. The district will now form a committee to "determine the extent to which the challenged material supports the curriculum, the educational appropriateness of the material, and its suitability for the age level of the student."
That's right -- in certain places, one cranky parent can get the dictionary removed from an entire district's schools, even when the kids themselves haven't been running around blurting about ORAL SEX to their elders.
Well, I guess other schools will soon follow suit.
Speaking to the Press-Enterprise about the dictionary ban, Betti Cadmus explained, "It's just not age-appropriate. It's hard to sit and read the dictionary, but we'll be looking to find other things of a graphic nature." For a tome that runs from "a" to "zymosan," that might take a while.
My thoughts...
hahahaha..is all...
