Menifee school officials remove dictionary over term ‘oral sex’
“Dictionaries have been removed from classrooms in southern California schools after a parent complained about a child reading the definition for “oral sex”.
When a parent volunteering in her son’s classroom came across the word — she complained to the school’s principal about the explicit language, curriculum officials with the district made a decision to temporarily remove the books.
Merriam Webster’s 10th edition, which has been used for the past few years in fourth and fifth grade classrooms (for children aged nine to 10) in Menifee Union school district, has been pulled from shelves over fears that the “sexually graphic” entry is “just not age appropriate”, according to the area’s local paper.
“It’s hard to sit and read the dictionary, but we’ll be looking to find other things of a graphic nature,” Cadmus said. She explained that other dictionary entries defining human anatomy would probably not be cause for alarm.”
So let me get this straight. A parent volunteering in her kid’s classroom “accidentally” stumbled upon the definition of “oral sex”. While doing what? Was she researching the city of Orada or maybe Oran. Maybe she was looking up the definition of “oracle” because her precocious child was contemplating creating a diorama of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi? Shocked by the audacity of such printed words, (and I imagine her eye sockets bleeding from involuntarily scratching her eyeballs out in a fit of horror) she complained to the school principal who then did what? He bumped the complaint up to the school board resulting in the removal of all the Merriam Webster’s dictionaries from the school district. So, if I understand this correctly, every college educated (just an assumption on my part, I could be totally off on this one), adult, Menifee Union school district bureaucrat was completely blindsided by the fact that the definition of “oral sex” is included in a modern dictionary and are now in the process of reviewing the Merriam Webster’s 10th edition, “…looking to find other things of a graphic nature” ?
Good move public school officals! If the little perverts of Menifee Union school district want to read porn and get their little rocks off let them do it like everyone else; stealing it from their parents, watching Friday night Cinemax at a sleepover, browsing the internets or maybe going old-school and reading the bible. There’s nothing quite like curling up with the bible and reading a thinly veiled reference to the joys of oral gratification and having one’s face covered in the remnants of your partner’s love after ecstatic, toe curling cunnilingus.
If you’re interested it’s the Song of Solomon. And remember it’s really “about loving da Lord”.
