War On Words: NYC Dept. Of Education Wants 50 ‘Forbidden’ Words Banned From Standardized Tests
'Dinosaur,' 'Birthday,' 'Halloween,' 'Poverty,' 'Divorce' Among Those Suggested

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — George Carlin is rolling over in his grave.The New York City Department of Education is waging a war on words of sorts, and is seeking to have words they deem upsetting removed from standardized tests. Fearing that certain words and topics can make students feel unpleasant, officials are requesting 50 or so words be removed from city-issued tests.The word “dinosaur” made the hit list because dinosaurs suggest evolution which creationists might not like, WCBS 880′s Marla Diamond reported. “Halloween” is targeted because it suggests paganism; a “birthday” might not be happy to all because it isn’t celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses.Julie Lewis’ family celebrates Christmas and Kwanzaa, but she told CBS 2′s Emily Smith she wants her children to appreciate and learn about other holidays and celebrations.“They’re going to meet people from all walks of life and they’re going to have to learn to adjust,” Lewis said.Words that suggest wealth are excluded because they could make kids jealous. “Poverty” is also on the forbidden list. That’s something Sy Fliegal with the Center for Educational Innovation calls ridiculous.“The Petersons take a vacation for five days in their Mercedes … so what? You think our kids are going to be offended because they don’t have a Mercedes? You think our kids are going to say ‘I’m offended; how could they ask me a question about a Mercedes? I don’t have a Mercedes!’” Fliegal said.In a throwback to “Footloose,” the word “dancing” is also taboo. However, there is good news for kids that like “ballet”: The city made an exception for this form of dance.Also banned are references to “divorce” and “disease,” because kids taking the tests may have relatives who split from spouses or are ill.Some students think banning these words from periodic assessment tests is ridiculous.“If you don’t celebrate one thing you might have a friend that does it. So I don’t see why people would find it offensive,” Curtis High School Sophomore Jamella Lewis told Diamond.Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said the DOE is simply giving guidance to the test developers.“So we’re not an outlier in being politically correct. This is just making sure that test makers are sensitive in the development of their tests,” Walcott said Monday.To which Fliegal responded: “It’s all of life! I don’t know how they figure out what not to put on the list. Every aspect of life is on the list.”There are banned words currently in school districts nationwide. Walcott said New York City’s list is longer because its student body is so diverse.Here is the complete list of words that could be banned:Abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, or psychological)Alcohol (beer and liquor), tobacco, or drugsBirthday celebrations (and birthdays)Bodily functionsCancer (and other diseases)Catastrophes/disasters (tsunamis and hurricanes)CelebritiesChildren dealing with serious issuesCigarettes (and other smoking paraphernalia)Computers in the home (acceptable in a school or library setting)CrimeDeath and diseaseDivorceEvolutionExpensive gifts, vacations, and prizesGambling involving moneyHalloweenHomelessnessHomes with swimming poolsHuntingJunk foodIn-depth discussions of sports that require prior knowledgeLoss of employmentNuclear weaponsOccult topics (i.e. fortune-telling)ParapsychologyPoliticsPornographyPovertyRap MusicReligionReligious holidays and festivals (including but not limited to Christmas, Yom Kippur, and Ramadan)Rock-and-Roll musicRunning awaySexSlaveryTerrorismTelevision and video games (excessive use)Traumatic material (including material that may be particularly upsetting such as animal shelters)Vermin (rats and roaches)ViolenceWar and bloodshedWeapons (guns, knives, etc.)Witchcraft, sorcery, etc.
