NYC school bans birthdays, halloween and dinosaurs

[JayL]

This is like those dark ages where agents of the Church suppressed contemporary modern sciences...

Sad to think how even the Catholic Church already adapts to new technologies, slowly or not (the Pope has a twitter), while learning institutions run by such closed-minded dumb f**ks see to the banning of many unique cultural aspects... suppose some natural disaster wiped out the school's administration, I'd join their students in celebrating.

Barely to do with Catholic church - these make their money through the usual contacts from which they made power back in the late Roman Empire... Ahead of that is just our comrade Pope being a good tourist and asking, asking, asking, and asking...

It has more to do with the protestant/evangelical/f**k knows what churches who are not centralised/organised like major churches are, so they have to live off of fooling people into giving them their hard earned cash.

The point anyway is that knowledge in one's mind will always conflict with the religion there. Since these churches will obviously make less profit with more knowledge it's no surprise they press for such a thing.

"Today class, we can't speak nor write because someone's relative might not be able to speak or write and that would be highly offensive!"

Can you imagine this? Give me a damn break.

Wasn't "Baa Baa Black Sheep" also changed, because it was supposedly sexist and racist?

Yes, humpty dumpty is banned for being 'scary' and ba ba black sheep is banned for being racist. -.-

Watching Cbeebies regularly it seems that to get a job there you have to be disabled, Asian or gay...

Theres a true fact for you, if you watch Cbeebies you'll see some strange things that actually look like they are trying to say something sexual or perverted.
NO I DONT WATCH IT! I have 4 siblings. 

They will ban pens and pencils soon for being to sharp and everyone will be using chalk again.

Our favourite news item is Mr Bloom being called one of the sexiest men in England, according to English mothers.

Next up, biology is banned from schools because evolution goes against the religions some students are members of.

I'm up for it!

[Mikal]

I'm up for it!

I'm not! God didn't do shit, dinosaurs did! 
Sorry if I'm offensive I often speak openly to much.

I hope this idiot school just closes down from lack of students, from the amount of complaints from children, from negative publicity, or from all of the above. It probably would anyway.

It will probably get bigger.

What would be attracting people to it?  :trust:

Idiot parents who want their kids to have a miserable existence in an oppressive and repressive school.

[ElMartu]

Exactly.

Yeah, many parents see the removal of such distractions as a benefit to their child's learning, although personally I see it as a negative towards social development...
