January 5, 200818 yr 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

January 5, 200818 yr Interested in a similiar fun fact from Texas? There, the Britannica Encyclopedia is banned because it contains a recipe for home-made beer! :lol: Pretty much what Dragon said.Thread terminated.I guess that means I'm the thread Terminator? No Tip.Iters were harmed in the making of this post.
January 5, 200818 yr Author 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
January 5, 200818 yr 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.

January 5, 200818 yr Well, I agree with Sworddude, but at my old primary school there were dictionaries that did NOT have obscene words in it. That = Answer. :)

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.
