Only in America: 50 banned words
On Wednesday's edition of "Piers Morgan Tonight," the host used his "Only in America" segment to discuss the new hope by the New York City Department of Education to ban 50 words from standardized tests.
So which words are banned? "Dinosaur. What on Earth could be wrong with dinosaur?" Piers Morgan asked. "But apparently it might rile creationists. Of course. Silly of me. Then there's Halloween, because of course that's a Pagan holiday. Can't be dealing with those, can we. Birthday is out because Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate birthdays. Really?"
Then there is the big D's: Death, disease and divorce.
And even stranger "no politics, no rap music, no religion, no rock 'n' roll, which frankly means I could say absolutely nothing if the same rules applied to this show."
It is understood that certain words are hateful and hurtful. They most certainly have no place in schools or tests but Piers had this advice for the New York City Department of Education:
"When it comes to the words on this list, perhaps the New York City Department of Education should go back to the wise old children's rhyme, 'sticks and stones can break my bones, but silly words will never hurt me.'"

Noticed "Witchcraft, sorcery, etc." last on the alphabetical list of banned words and phrases. Does that mean any or all "Harry Potter" books will be removed from a teacher's classroom library, or even from the school library? If so, some students may feel disappointed, but some adults may feel empowered.
Sorry – now I see that the ban is only for standardized tests. It is not about everyday interaction with students.
I don't think you can stop most second grade students from thinking, reading, and asking questions about dinosaurs, fossils, and prehistoric life. No need to bring Harry Potter into a standardized test! And, hopefully, the history of slavery and our country is taught in the upper grades even if it is not on the State Test. I don't think the terms Voting Rights Act,
Jim Crow Laws, etc. were banned. Carry on!
yes...this is for 'tests'..but it's a step in the wrong direction.......there are states in the south that already want to remove the teaching of evolution from schools.....it's like taking the path to the "Dark Side", once you head down that path, it just gets you in deeper and deeper, and before you know it, they will expand those bans to include Harry Potter, or Hunger Games, or many other things. I remember years ago, how The Mark Twain Elementary School in Virginia banned "Huck Finn" because of the controversial language in it.....but it's a story which has to be taken in the context of the time, no matter whether words are controversial or offensive. Machiavelli wrote a book called The Prince....the basic theme was, if you ignore the past, you are doomed to repeat it. I would say you could generalize it to "If you ban words and ideas, they are going to come back and trip you up in the long run"....
If it had been a matter of questions on a test which would have been culturally biased and could have affected the child's score, that would be one thing...but banning words like dinosaurs? They're just contributing to the lack of tolerance that is already all to prevalent.
Not YET!
Jehovah's Witnesses will view this as an act of God...
As a Jehovah's Witness I really don't care if you celebrate your birthday. Go right ahead and use the word, all we ask is that you excuse our children if they ask from any observances that they feel violates their religious beliefs. We do not get involved with trying to change the standards for all.
Their religious beliefs? did they choose it then? Beliefs you force upon them!! Stop destroying childs minds and their ability to choose their own path!
Now that's an excellent reply! From any religious persuasion, or from no religion at all.
interesting that george latched on to the word belief. Why? if you believe something, it is a belief, no matter what that is based on. Whether you are taught it, or you come to that conclusion on your own, it is a belief. You assume things that are not true. Our beliefs are based on scripture, if you would like to know why, ask one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Don't get your information from someone who does not have all the facts.
"Act of God" seriously... thats just silly,, as silly as banning words!

what a crock ! and thats being "politically correct" all these people that dont have a life should think about getting one and leave our kids ALONE theyre goin to here ALL OF THESE WORDS sooner or later might as well be in school where TEACHER CAN DO THEIR JOB ! ! ! Just another BS LAWSUIT waiting to happen ! And all you that are for this.... go find your own wee country to screw up and leave the UNITED STATES ALONE ! ! ! !
Pears please go back Britannia . You are clueless and better suited to reporting on the royals.
well pears i wont be watching you anymore you just made that fool make a mockery of travon martin what a shame you just as clueless as your guest
Where is that coming from? England (not Britania, we are not Rome right now) is just as advanced as America is. Furthermore, you say that he is better suited reporting to the royals? Well of course, you would say that, pro-American hypocrite that you are, except he clearly isn't a government official, which means that you would be elevating his position. Also, it has been agreed that though England is using a rather old method of government, so are we. America has used the same government for about 300 years now. It would seem that according to your insulting view of Brits, you would be better suited for working under "Royals", as you call them, though really, that's not how their government works at all, you sad, clueless human.
Also, you are a total racist.
Please,please, please go home. Pears you are soooooo stupid. Geo Zimmerman brother just took you the woodshed. You tried to Oreily him, it did not work.
Why can't anyone spell "Piers" Morgan correctly? Did you miss out on reading about him. Or do you think he was named after a fruit? [pear]???
All I really heard from Mike was, "I don't know", Does he have an opinion or is he truly hurting! I don't know.
America is getting more and more stupid as time progresses. No wonder other countries laugh at us.
I am a moron who doesn't have the faintist idea what i'm talking about – please feel free to insult me!
ajnov on July 30, 2009 I got job from Ezdia, Initially I bid for projects like forum postnig on getafreelancer.then my project poster suggest me to join ezdia for more projects. I joined ezdia and posted my resume after 2 days I got blog submission, press release and review writing projects.payment is much much better than Getafreelancer
ref your comment no bunsiess switches their phone off Where did you pick up that golden snippet? The phone, albeit a great tool, is also a massive distraction. Why would I want to waste my valuable time talking to a single person on the phone, especially if they can find the information they need by visiting my Web site, or going to google and doing a quick search.Sure, i love talking to my family etc. Personal clients come later and sessions are planned. Answering the phone, just because it rings no thanks.Mark
What almost everyone has missed is that these words are not used on the test – it has nothing to do with whether they are used in the classroom and there is no call to not discuss the concepts. Avoiding "emotionally loaded" words on a test is done because actual research (real statistical analysis – scientific and all) shows that using these words in questions skews the results. The questions do not correctly test what they are intended to test.

This so sounds like something that fool Roy Blunt would do. Keep them dumb and don't let them have medical care is Roy's motto.
Alright! Time for a new universal language, to include every citizen of Earth.
AH YES, BAN THESE 'BAD' WORDS FROM THE STANDARD TESTS, THEN THEY WILL BE REMOVED FROM TEXT BOOKS, AND FINIALLY FROM CLASSROOM VOCABULARY. SEE HOW QUICKLY WE CAN DUMB DOWN OUR CHILDREN TO BE EMPTY HEADED ROBOTS. THERE ARE NO 'BAD' WORDS ONLY HOW WE USE THEM.
This proposal is shameful and is designed to fail utterly. We at Pure Sophistry took the issue to tackle the broader argument of offensive materials in the classroom (like editing Huckleberry Finn) and have created a poll so we can all vote on how to handle such materials. Hope the discussion continues!

Jehovah's Witnesses reject Birthdays all holidays,Thanksgiving even benign Mother's day.
The Watchtower leaders want to be 'different' for the sake of being different.Jehovah's Witnesses are a dysfunctional group from the get-go .
Christmas-Jesus was not born on exactly Dec 25th,but he also did not have his *invisible* second coming in the month of October 1914,a falsehood that is the core doctrine of the Watchtower religion.

"tell the truth don't be afraid–Danny Haszard
How does this teach tolerance? It only teaches ignorance. A huge step in the wrong direction. Children should be taught to understand each other and be capable of learing different points of view. Banning words or ideas behind these words closes in these children and limits their success in the real world!!
Hi BrendanI have two questions for you.I've just had my first ciacermoml casting and was wondering how long it takes casting directors , directors and their clients to decide whether or not they want a particular actor?I've applied for a number of ciacermomls and other tv work on Spotlight and not heard anything; as I have heard how important it is to have a showreel on there ( which I don't yet have) I've put a few clips on CCP which I sometimes give people the link to. Is this the right thing to do? I'm a bit worried it might do more harm than good.best wishesHazel Bawden
At least it's not as bad as BANNING BEST FRIENDS in EUROPE
Ah yes, out come the JW haters. What a rabid bunch. Don't you see that you are the reason political correctness came into existence. This wasn't about someone's religious choices it was about some academic going overboard with politcal correctness. An over reaction to your bigotry.
have a nice day
I do agree with all of the concepts you've offreed on your post. They're really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for beginners. Could you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I have no issues with the words birthday, Halloween, etc. I personally do not believe in them, but I also am not offended when they appear. I agree, that someone chose to include that because they THOUGHT we would be offended, but we are not. Clearly, those of you who are making these blanket statements about Jehovah's Witnesses have never spoken to one.
