[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 280870, member: 135"] I understand censorship here; this is a public site which can be read by anybody. Some words are so offensive that we might turn off the very people who need or want our help. I even though I use a little salty language with my friends, a lot of bad words can turn me off in a hurry. But this school thing is ridiculous. The kids OWN the yearbooks (at least in our schools you only get one if you buy one). What you write or somebody else writes on your own property may be in bad taste and it may come back to bite you in the (not sure what word I can use here but you know what I mean) many years later but that is a whole different thing. I taught in public schools for 35 years and I know that once somebody in power there gets a stupid idea it can get out of control fast. Even when they have good ideas they tend to run them into the ground and become idiotic. Maybe somebody should plan a party where the kids can get together and sign each other's books off school property. This is a free country after all. It is important for our kids to learn the difference between not doing things for a good reason and following a bad idea like sheep just because they are told to. Of course, with most difficult children, we don't have to worry too much about the following like sheep part. LOL (oops - guess that woudln't pass muster at the school either!) [/QUOTE]
