Some are still shocked when they find people that have any kind of standards at all aren’t they??
The no-class idiots like this always pretend to be the ones “offended” by decency.

“Youre offended by the word jackass?”
Maybe you missed the part about where they were giving it to first graders.
And yes I would be GREATLY offended if someone tried to give that to my 7 year old!
To: All
While the phrase "Jackass" might be inappropriate for 1st graders, Lane Smith is one of the best kids' author/artists around. His stuff is screamingly funny, and his illustrations are creative. That said, I think even Oscar Leroy would be saddened if 6 year olds started calling each other "jackass".

"This is the first time I have had people who don't know me say nasty things about me," Earle said. "I'm 'subversive.' I'm 'poisoning children's minds.' They feel they can say anything. This whole public discourse becomes so uncivil."
The idea that the author didn't realize the word "jackass" is itself uncivil public discourse is laughable. Thanks JPB.

No, I’m offended that people want to shove it into the faces of elementary school kids.
