Is this for real?

Do people listen to themselves when they speak? A group of parents in Menifee Union School District have requested that the Merriam Webster dictionary be removed from elementary classrooms. The dictionary! One of the kids looked up oral sex, and the description was too graphic. Twenty bucks the parent of that child has internet, where the child can look up things far worse. Seriously, banning the dictionary. Who does that?

What an unlikely ally for me to have! Hahahaha. I would like for the M-W dictionary to be replaced with a better dictionary because it endorses things like the /nucular/ pronunciation. You haven't heard the last of me, Merriam!

But yeah, that's stupid.
