Here's one for ya, Bunky.

Grandkid is in advanced, 2nd grade and enjoys reading. He is now reading his father's book about the Battle of the Bulge. But he can't write a book report about it because it is about violence and includes weapons.

What da fuck?

1. That's what happens when there are rules

that prevent book-reports on books like The Godfather.

3. Reading history and reporting on WWII should be fine.

[Phoenix61]

4. Absolutely agree but I think it falls under the

“no clothing with writing on it” type rules. It’s easier to make a blanket rule that doesn’t always fit. If you make an exception for historical would a book report about Dahlmer be ok? Or given the current political climate, what about one extolling the virtues of the KKK. Not to play devils advocate but you just wouldn’t believe the shit some parents pull...or maybe you do.

5. Wasn't that from the old Spike Jones routine?

“Hey there, Bunky, you say you lost your shoes and now that you found your shoes, you can’t find your feet?”

“Is that what’s troubling you, Bunky?”

8. No. The Old Philosopher. 1950's record.

6. I wonder how they would treat Alexander the Great,

or other examples of military conflict in ancient history?
