New York city schools want to ban 'loaded words' from tests
By Brian Vitagliano, CNN
New York (CNN) – Divorce. Dinosaurs, Birthdays. Religion. Halloween. Christmas. Television. These are a few of the 50-plus words and references the New York City Department of Education is hoping to ban from the city’s standardized tests.
The banned word list was made public – and attracted considerable criticism – when the city’s education department recently released this year’s "request for proposal" The request for proposal is sent to test publishers around the country trying to get the job of revamping math and English tests for the City of New York. .... en dan volgt er nog een halfbakken uitleg over waarom 'dinosaur' een term is die gemeden moet worden. Waarom? Omdat niet iedereen in evolutie gelooft! Ook death, disease, Rock 'n' Roll en pepperoni zijn verboden. Dat je het maar weet! Vooral pepperoni is een gevaarlijke, je weet maar nooit!
