I think the problem the parents had in the article was that they felt that red was a more "stressful" color. It's a value judgement. Everyone makes value judgements every day. Furthermore, it is relatively meaningless by any kind of measure. The parents decided that they didn't want the teachers to use red anymore. Big fucking deal. That's just one more of the many arbitrary rules that make up every day of our existence. It may be stupid, but it's their decision to make, apparently, and all of you would be hard-pressed to demonstrate any kind of ill effects of a red ink ban.
It seems ironic to me that a great many people in this thread are going out of their way to get offended by people whom they believe are going out of their way to get offended. In the nomenclature of the thread starter, you are all a bunch of pussies.
