Okay, that's just dumb. How about the school system "sanitizing" (editing to be politically correct) literary exerpts on an English exam? To the point of destroying the original meaning? Without any indication the passage was edited?

Our school system is nuts.

The "...New York State education commissioner said yesterday that literary passages in state-administered tests would no longer be altered to delete unwanted words or phrases." Apparently the firestorm of protest influenced them.... See (http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/05/education/05REGE.html) --- NY Times free but annoying registration required, yadda yadda yadda.
