Hear me out a minute: I am not ignorant, nor am I a (insert any counterculture tag)-phobe. I gave up on the church I was raised into, for reasons too numerous to take up bandwidth here. 4-6 year olds, adding the caveat, that are being raised by their parents, should not have certain words in their vocabulary. I know for a fact that hatred is a learned behavior, along with sharing and responsibility. I don't know about you, but a school's number one priority is to educate. Would it not be irresponsible for an institution whose main goal is to teach, just "ban" words without giving their definition? So, if you tell a 5 year old that saying "fag" is not nice (which I agree with) but, do not instruct a child of the word's meaning, is that not in fact a grave omission of the educator's duty to educate? Telling someone that they will not say the word "jujubee" without giving them the definition of the word is just outright censorship rather then have them develop a moral system that will give them the choice to preclude said word.

It's the definition of the word "fag" that would be taught to a 4-6 year old that enrages me.
