I'm not sure why you want to smack the lady krwlz. I think you may have missed the point that she is against this dumbing down. Or maybe you are just radically and violently in favour of PC.

As for the article itself. I am a little sceptical. We have similar scare stories in the UK, but the reality is that you can walk into any classroom and almost all the books will be 'normal'. To get more press coverage and sell more of your expose book it helps to hype the problem up and make out that our kids will soon only be taught sanitised pap. The reality is that most teachers are too smart and too concerned to let that happen.
