The North Canton City School District takes seriously the shitty, snippy bromide "those who can't do teach" -- so seriously, in fact, that they have suspended a high school English teacher because she wrote a novel.
I know it's not really your thing, but darn it, we need more information to... uh... arrive at a reasoned... What were we talking about, again?
I meant the book by Percival Everett. It's actually a pretty good read -- it's about an African-American author who gets no respect because his books are generally highbrow, so he writes an over-the-top parody of ghetto-chic exploitation that gets taken at face value and earns widespread critical acclaim.
Or if she's figured out how to tie her shoes without assistance.
If the notion of a modern teacher having a fantasy life is so unbearable, you'd think the pearl-clutchers could come up with at least one coherent objection that doesn't rely on moralistic precognition.
Is there an "either/or" requirement I'm failing to see, here?
These fearful parents have to be imagining a torrid "if/then." Or maybe "then/if/then, then, oh then, then, oh yeah, then, then, then, THEN!".
Song of Solomon presents a problem, since you're in deep shit if you remove so much as a word from the Bible...
<blockquote>This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine... </blockquote>

And not all of the christianist taliban progress to &quot;What Would I Make You Do?&quot;
If someone told me that I was worse than a bowling ball... I&#039;d have to take a good, hard look at my bias against recreational sports.
Wait until they find out what she watches on TV at night...
OK, but does she have a sister? I&#039;m asking for a friend.
&quot;You don&#039;t have to try heroin to know that it&#039;s destructive.&quot;
Ta-dah !
YES.
I want to know if Ms. Apple has any older sons.

I envy my grandparents, who could go decades without thinking once about those newfangled &quot;nasty bits&quot;.
And yet I came into existence. I&#039;d ask my dad about this, but I was raised better than that.
Apparently.

To be fair, their Extra Crispy recipe is dangerously hard to force down.
They probably don&#039;t want the jury on a libel case taking your side.
