I lose faith in humanity each and every time something dumb happens.

WHUT.

Seriously, who bans dictionaries from school? Just because one kid looked up "oral sex"? Are we going backwards in progress here? It's the twentieth first century and it's America, for fuck's sake. He was going to find out what oral sex was with or without that dictionary. It's inevitable.

(Y'know, instead of complaining to the school district about how your child looked up a word in a dictionary, maybe a sex talk should be given instead? Waste the energy to something meaningful! I'd prefer for a kid to know what sex is and its purpose than being withheld the opportunity to take a dictionary and use it for help on his homework any time he or she needs it.)

I've seen some dumb things in my time. That takes 40 dumb cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

That's a lot of tens.

;akglakglaga. IT'S THE DICTIONARY, COLIN.

They might as well ban televisions from school too, because, wouldn't you know it, there's porn on that! Or the encyclopedias, because it's got penises and boobies. :|

Honestly, I'm most surprised that this is coming out of California. Not to offend people from traditionally "backwoods" states, but I'm about to. I would expect this out of Nebraska or something. California is modern and progressive, or at least it's supposed to be because I like pretending that they didn't fuck up prop 8, and they're banning the dictionary. The dictionary.

Guess all those kiddos are going to find out what oral sex is the same way they'll be finding out what syphilis is.

Uhm Hello. Kids have been doing shit like that for years. Swear words and sex terms are all to make kids that age giggle.

This is so fail it's funny. Honestly, I laughed XD

Personally the defination isn't even that vulgar in my opinion. 'oral stimulation to the genetals' isn't as bad as 'it's when the guys puts his penis in a lady's mouth.'

7th grade, oh how horrifying you were...

Dammit, reading that made me so angry. For gods sake if you're gonna ban something for having "offensive" material, you might as well ban everything, because someone is always going to be offended. So much fail.
