Next hot topic: Porn in schools

Other than the rare roadside beating, evolution as a topic of discussion in Kansas appears to be at a lull for now. Thus, we eagerly await the next nonissue designed to inflame the passions of the easily excitable in the Sunflower State. Might it be the coming campaign to outlaw porn in the public schools?

I’m not joking. Even now that trial balloon is being inflated with hot air. This despite the fact that, other than disputes over a few racy passages in a few books, Kansas schools are under no threat of going triple X.

Yet, the push to get nonexistent porn out of the public schools is seen a potential plank in the state Republican Party platform to be adopted next month in Topeka.

“We are seriously talking about it,” platform committee member Charlotte O’Hara of Olathe told me on Saturday. “I think it very definitely has a chance to be part of it.”

and am going to be looking for a teaching job. I think I will teach in Missouri.

Fanny Mae, and many other fine works of English Lit. These people are idiots; nobodies handing out Anaiis Nin to high school students or "One Hundred Years of Solitude." Of course if they did the kids might read a little bit more.

If sex was homework, the teen pregnancy rate would drop to near zero.

"Jimmy, did you have intercourse at least once this week?"

"Ah gee, miss DeCamp, why can't you just give us math problems or something..."

Much like the way they have no idea what science is or how it works, these people have no concept of what pornography actually is. On the plus side, if they ever actually saw any actual pornography, their heads would probably explode.

I asked Belashabadi what he thought should be done about the satellite channels on which Iranians watch illicit fare such as music videos, Western movies, and political commentary from Iranian exiles abroad. “The majority of the population is young,” he said. “Young people by nature are horny. Because they are horny, they like to watch satellite channels where there are films or programs they can jerk off to.” The regime could filter the channels, he suggested, or it could try to educate the people to tune in to more wholesome programming. He concluded, “We have to do something about satellite television to keep society free from this horny jerk-off situation.”

My translator implored me, in a jaw-clenched monotone, “Please do not laugh right now. This is a very sensitive moment.”
