Stupid school librarians. Banning fun and reality.
I wonder if she banned Mark Twain's
Huckleberry Finn like some did because he used the N word. No matter that in the context it was a lesson against racism, they banned the book. Shortsighted, stiffnecked, puritannical spoilers... Nobody objects to superior Bazoongas.

You're absolutely right, Naut. Slinging slang like a pro and the parents
incommunicado due to lack of willingness to translate or to be translated to. Generation gap begun by stupid ass posturing and exclusion.

Butterfly, 'spineless (and abysmally stupid) grandstanding' is just about right...

Let me get this straight.....
The school takes a stand about words like Bazoongas but does nothing when bullies terrorize other kids.Sounds like spineless grandstanding to me.Way to take a stand yourself Naut ,nothing will change unless someone speaks out.

Re: Idiots. We have them all over the U.S. as well, Naut. Down here in
Saul, I think, that's the other side of this idiocy! By the time these kids can read, sort of, say around sixteen or seventeen, they have learned words the adults haven't even heard of yet...

Idiots. We have them all over the U.S. as well, Naut. Down here in
Georgia, a woman has tried to ban Harry Potter for the last three or four years (without success) and another young person's book was pulled from the shelves for having the word 'penis' in it. The offending sentence actually was refering to a dog... What are people so afraid of? And are they in so much denial? Take a good listen to what children are saying when they don't think an adult can hear them. Foul-mouthed little cretins, the lot of them. Just like the adults...

I rmember enjoying church as a child not because of any budding
feelings of a deep faith, it was because one of the ladies had the biggest pair I could ever imagine and I just couldn't stop staring at them and wondering. Yes I know I've always been an odd bod.

This is hysterical and ridiculously sad at the same time. Do those people with the banning stick think children have no conceptual idea, and therefore words for....and conversations about......those things from which most of them drew sustenence, and all, at least some measure of comfort from a soft hug......I mean, goodgodalmighty, says James Brown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How stupid can things get? It's a mocking of women, in my opinion....plain and simple.
I need a neck wringing icon...no! a head slapping one!
