Georgelemmons Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I was listening to the radio one day, and found out something really funny. Apparently, in 1982, the educational supervisor of Texas banned a book for "obscene content and innapropriate language". Guess what it was? The dictionary. :XD: Edit: sorry for posting this in the wrong forum, i just wasnt thinking :oops: Also, my source was NPR, National Public Radio (USA) Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon_lord Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Interested in a similiar fun fact from Texas?

Georgelemmons Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well he did have a point, the dictionary does contain obscene words. yeah, but is that really a basis for banning the DICTIONARY from every single school in texas? :| I have yet to understand why this is 'national' stupidity? Is it not the stupidity of one man in control? Good point. :-k I'll change it. Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiriyama Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well he did have a point, the dictionary does contain obscene words. yeah, but is that really a basis for banning the DICTIONARY from every single school in texas? Classic works of literature have been banned before. Of Mice and Men for example, and I bet Animal Farm has been banned in communist countries before. Not too sure though.

King_Royale Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well, I agree with Sworddude, but at my old primary school there were dictionaries that did NOT have obscene words in it. That = Answer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic works of literature have been banned before. Of Mice and Men for example, and I bet Animal Farm has been banned in communist countries before. Not too sure though. In the USA, "Catcher In The Rye" is both one of the most suggested and mandatory reading in schools, and its also one of the most banned.
