Define: Dumbass

Stupid dictionary tricks:

The Menifee Union School District is forming a committee to review whether dictionaries containing the definitions for sexual terms should be permanently banned from the district's classrooms, a district official said Friday.

The 9,000-student K-8 district this week pulled all copies of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary after an Oak Meadows Elementary School parent complained about a child stumbling across definitions for "oral sex."

You know what's at the core of the problem with schools today? It's not the kids; they're the same as kids have been since the beginning of time. It's not the teachers; they're under more stress, rules, restrictions and controls than ever before. It's not the administration; they've become beholden to the pursers at the state level and can't blow their noses without permission from a politician. So, the problem is the politicians, right?

Wrong. Politicians are put there by voters.

The root of all problems in public education today is parents. If your kid is a whiny, soft-handed, trouble-making, undercooked lump of baby batter, and you can't figure out who to blame for its seemingly endless stream of abject failures, here's a clue: find a mirror.
