Yet more faux outrage from cd conservatives!

Rather ironic that you would use an exclamation point, the most aggressive and fascistic of punctuation marks.

Let's go a step further: letters are upsetting students. Such social repressions make them think too much.

Thus, they must be purged from our society. Henceforth, the teaching of reading and writing skills will be punishable by death. Reading and writing is banned beyond the typing of the period at the end of this sentence (its for the good of the fragile Ism Generation).

And to think, I laughed at Idiocracy when it came out. I thought it was a comedy. Well, I don't laugh at it anymore. Turns out it was more of a future documentary than it was a comedy.

For it to even be brought up is ridiculous, whether a ban, recommendation, or informal chit-chat.

Complete with a president who has been a reality star and even appeared on WWF, eh?
