    PC student tests forbid dance, dinos & lots more

    In a bizarre case of political correctness run wild, educrats have banned references to “dinosaurs,” “birthdays,” “Halloween” and dozens of other topics on city-issued tests.

    That’s because they fear such topics “could evoke unpleasant emotions in the students.”

    Dinosaurs, for example, call to mind evolution, which might upset fundamentalists; birthdays aren’t celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses; and Halloween suggests paganism.

    Even “dancing’’ is taboo, because some sects object. But the city did make an exception for ballet.

    If you want to please everyone, you're going to have to have a blank page. Why? A lot of Amerindian tribes shun writing as white man culture.

    One day will be easier just to say what's allowed.

    About the birthday part, Jehovah's Witnesses are crazy. I have had bad dealings with them on my property and they just would not leave.

    Here no one cares. There are dances, birthdays and all the shabang. Well the PC people are idiots. School dances or proms are often fun

    Here is what I don't get. What percent of the student body are Jehovah's Witness, or part of any religion that is against dancing? also, what about, oh I don't know, Separation of Church and State? It's ridiculous we go out of our way to please those who make up a minuscule percentage of the population.

    If you don't believe in birthdays then don't fucking celebrate yours, but you sure as hell won't stop me from celebrating mine.
