"This is just so totally bogus," said Franklin Cairnes, an eighth grader at Rittmueller. "It's like, duh, they're just words and stuff."

Melissa Makala, a seventh grader who is not in Fossum's English class, shared Cairnes' perspective. "This is such a major gag fest," said Makala. "It is, like, just so gay."

Both of whom further underscore the need to teach, like, the English language. These two quotes could qualify this thread as "humor" if they weren't so pathetic.

I can't believe these shirtlifters are being so niggardly with this child's educational opportunities.

[Lockbox]

Wait, I have a bundle of questions regarding this article or should I say a fagot query?

Tee hee, good one.

This is insanity of the highest order. Those words are perfectly good words which are commonly used in the English language every day. They only resemble "queer" and "faggot" which may be viewed by some as inflammatory. The stupidity of some people never fails to amaze me.

I wish this was from The Onion, but it isn't. The smartest decision I have ever made in my life was when I decided NOT to go into teaching.

I was an education major, had a deadline to sign up for a student teaching assignment, couldn't bring myself to do it.

No regrets.

[AUgrad]

OK, egg on my face. Boy do I feel stupid. Blood pressure: down, indignation:off.

[capitan_refugio]

Query: Are fagots used to make a flambeau?
