Meep! Why don’t schools just ban EVERYTHING?
Christine the Curmudgeon recently saw these two stupid news stories. The first one – Danvers High School Bans The Word *Meep*.
Yes…*meep*. Sheesh, don’t these school officials have more important things to worry about? How about bullying? Now that is a very serious issue, something that many schools do absolutely NOTHING about. So I guess it’s okay to torment and beat up other kids at school, but if you say *MEEP*, forget it. Your life is over.
And then there’s the annual *war on Christmas* at schools, which gets dumber and dumber every year. This year, a school in Chelmsford, MA, has banned stuff such as candy canes, stockings, and Santa from its HOLIDAY gift shop.
Yes, you read that right, it’s a HOLIDAY gift shop, to raise money for the school…yet they are not allowed to sell any HOLIDAY items. It think it’s hypocritical that they want the money, and use the holiday season to get it, but won’t let them sell any cute Christmas items.
Sheesh! Why don’t they just start banning random stuff, just for the hell of it. Let’s ban Red Sox caps…L.L. Bean backpacks…apples that aren’t red…area rugs…digital clocks…you get the idea.
Or how about saving us all a lot of hassle, and just banning EVERYTHING?
