Dinosaurs are banned because they supposedly might offend people who do not believe in evolution, yet this makes little to no sense given that even the most fundamentalist creationists seem to realize that there were, indeed dinosaurs.
There are some 50 words which are officially banned from being used on tests given to students by the city, the banning of which is outright absurd.
Some of the more insane choices are: dinosaur, birthdays, wealth, poverty, Halloween, dancing, terrorism, divorce, references to disease, slavery, creatures from outer space, and many more.
In fact, it is not just these words that are banned, but indeed the entire topic cannot be included on any tests administered by the city.
This is supposedly because such references “could evoke unpleasant emotions in the students,” according to the New York Post.
