This makes me so, so sad. It is ludicrous to expect students to write and not use certain words.

The bias reviewers objected to the fact that the name of the school included the word Negro.
My gosh, so does the United Negro College Fund. Is that something we're not allowed to talk about in front of the kids?

If we don't use the word Negro, does that mean that Negros don't exist?

It is a crazy world we are living in!

That reminds me of a question that Abraham Lincoln once asked..."How many legs a dog has, if you call the tail a leg?"

The answer, obvious to conservatives but never understood by liberals, is..."Four. Calling the tail a leg does not make it a leg."

We can't use the word "devil" and we can't use the word "god"

I'm so upset I think I'll have a Devil God,---ooops,I mean Devil Dog.
