Can you refer to someone as donkey?

You can if you meet the following conditions:

1. You must ask permission first.
2. You must submit a written apology in advance.
3. You must guarantee that no donkeys were injured while doing this.
4. And finally you must promise never to do it again.

I wonder, what kind of punishment they would dish out for these super "offensive actions" like calling someone a donkey.

Can I ask the School system to also ban the words geometry, algebra, java, and all related terms, as they cause me distress.

In a way I'm glad I don't have kids, because they would be learning things more or less the way I was taught. That might make them too rough around the edges for some schools.

It would make them too rough around the edges for some parents. The schools are only responding to the deluge of ridiculous complaints from parents and community members at large. Eventually, you get tired of fighting the same battle every day and just ban everything. Can't say I blame them.

None. Parents want the rules enforced, but only for everybody else's kid.

Don't forget french, calculus, and physics

french, calculus, and physics imply failure, and by being surrounded by failure, we are under constant distress

Why don't we ban the word Monday? It causes everyone distress...

Great idea. While we're at it we should also ban the word "Saturday" and "Sunday" because those words may cause distress in people who have to work on those days -- along with the words "Steak", "barbeque", "beer", "baseball" and "football". :yep:
