Here's my concern. This is just a freak incident. However, some nutcase will probably treat it as an epidemic.

Funny yet so sad that it's fellow humans who are being this way

Stupid parents that shelter their kids should be shot for allowing their child to be incredibly fragile and easilly damaged. We do that with engineers who build bridges out of toothpicks, why not to parents that raise their kids to think the world is all peachy keen?

5 bucks says the kid'll learn the words fuck, shit, asshole, cunt, jackass, and bitch within the next year if he doesn't know them already. Them dumbass parents better start censoring the news and all crime/police type dramas on TV lest their poor kid hear the word "gun". And I suppose they'll have to make sure the kid never sees a police officer or he might get his mind warped from seeing the cop's gun. Fucking idiots, all of them.

the school wants to avoid the parents sueing them which could get expensive. that is weak but at least makes sense.

the parents are nothing but idiotic.

Let's redeploy the population of Smalltown, Texas to whatever high school this is.

This can't be right. All the stupid people should be here in the US, not Canada.

How the hell is banning the word "gun" going to protect the child anyway?

Eh, Enlightenment was right. The continued existance of humanity is a sad sad thing when we have people this stupid.

its the lack of natural selection that allows such idiots to breed. if we instituted some form of eugenics and selective breeding the entire species would become much smarted over the course of a decade, mostly because of smaller numbers of relatively intelligent kids being born rather then large numbers of kids that range from retard to einstein.

[sarcasm]Its offensive and of course any thing offensive sould be immediately purged from society.[/sarcasm]

Its the same mentality of people who think if they never teach their kids about sex, they'll never find out about it from other sources.

Dumb parent.

And stupid school for listening to her.

I can imagine the history classes now:

"And thanks to the advances in techno - sorry, we aren't allowed to use that word, now where was it..." *teacher opens the PC Thesaurus for Moronic Schools* "Aaah. -The advances in satanic unchristian learning. The use of gu- no firear- no, errr... boomsticks, meant that the..."

Next thing you'll know, they'll ban the word "weed", because it promotes the use of drugs.

Next thing you'll know is that no child can learn even the most innocent words.

There goes the schools....

I'm waiting for them to ban history lessons on the Holocaust, since that was synonymous with Death as well.

I'm waiting them to ban lessons about birth, because that's anaglous (sp.) to death.

Oh great, now "gun" is politically incorrect?
I wonder if they're going to ban firearm as well.

Or even arm?

Could revolution and words like that be banned too?

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2003-02-13 03:41am

What if they just create a new launguage with absolutely no even remotely offensive words.

Post by **Gandalf** » 2003-02-13 03:47am

Could they start banning Arabic students from school as they might be associated with terrorism.

We could ban tower and plane too.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2003-02-13 07:19am

Let's ban the letters 'd' 'e' 'a' 't' and 'h'.

I find the parent's stupidity offensive!
It should be banned!

We're all up in arms here, but I feel compelled to point out that if you go to the Ottawa news website that reported that, there is apparently 100% agreement on the feedback page (from people living in the region) that this is bullshit.

This woman does not represent the spearhead of a trend; she is simply a stupid fucking bitch who has provoked an EXTREMELY negative reaction in all the people around her.

That's a relief. I'd hate to see this extended to science classes.
