[Tennesseer]

Satire.

Dictionaries are the 'Where's Waldo?' of porn. Florida is right to ban them from schools.

Florida’s book-banning frenzy in public schools has finally reached the dictionary level.

Thank God.

A new state law that allows parents in Florida to restrict the reading material of other people’s children in public schools has caused thousands of titles to be pulled from school library shelves.

All it takes is one parental complaint about a book that depicts or describes “sexual conduct” and the school has five days to remove it from the library shelves for a lengthy, open-ended review.

In Escambia County, where some 1,600 titles have been pulled, the banned list has included not only award-winning literary novels and biographies but also encyclopedias and dictionaries.

I know. At first blush, it might sound crazy to ban dictionaries in schools.
Especially during the time when so many young people spell the word “you” just with the letter U, and a leading candidate for president writes about a “smocking gun.”

But it makes sense to ban dictionaries. After all, dictionaries are full of smut.

It’s just that the offending sexual content in dictionaries requires a little bit of imagination. OK, maybe a lot of imagination.

But the filth is all there in the form of unconnected words that are hidden alphabetically. Yes, it’s diabolical.

Nice try, Webster. But we see what you’re up to, and we won’t stand idly by as dictionaries stealthily indoctrinate our children.

I appreciate this, but there's already a thread on FL banning dictionaries. I'm gonna merge this with that one, once I find it.
