You're going to traumatize a New York City schoolkid.

Really? If New York City has time for this kind of "decisions" then their bureaucracy has over staffing problem.

You see, the problem is with the decision makers at the top, not the general bureaucracy; the lower- to mid-level personnel have to takes test and be verified as being qualified and competent to at least minimally perform their duties. The decision makers at the top, who are either elected or appointed with no such vetting process, just have to be popular...

As long as they replace them with questions like "Find F where F = G (m1 * m1/r^2) using the following masses at the specified distance" then I'll be happy.

What a bunch of saps. How am I supposed to take my own country seriously if people in charge keep coming up with hare-brained ideas like this?

Does the "Pizza is a vegetable" thing count as a reason to move country

Americas headlong march into the abyss continues.

I guess I'll sit on my porch drinking, watching, smiling, munching pop corn until those in power outlaw my own ass from underneath me.

I think this is totally offensive towards the porchless, non-drinking, blind, unhappy people with no teeth!

Excellent game plan.

Political correctness: a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority,and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition, that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
