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.

Cannot use that word, do not want to offend any clowns now do we.

Dancing should be banned because it leads to sex. Or does sex lead to dancing?

Dunno, maybe we shouldn't ban it just yet in order to find out. :dancing-smiley:
