Additionally it's America. Have a look at this https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/answer-sheet/wp/2016/12/03/the-top-10-books-most-challenged-in-schools-and-libraries/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.960715420d91 The book challenged the most is Harry Potter for reasons such as it's anti family and...

It's a parent not the school who instigated it and it hasn't actually been banned. As I understand it, the district has responded by pulling the book temporarily, which is the process they have in place. Here's the Washington Post article...

Try reading the whole thing rather than just the title, that way you might actually learn something rather than spending your time spouting nonsense. "A racial group means a group of persons defined by reference to race, colour, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national...

I think if we are honest there are numerous people who associate Islam with other cultures and/or people of a different skin colour.

http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/racist_and_religious_crime/ No I am acknowledging that the usage of a word can redefine it. Just as you have with the use of moron. I'm not even going to bother commenting on your mindset.

Moron has been appropriated. The definition now is not the same as the original use of the word. In the case of racism, it's not me saying it. It's defined by the law. People use the term racism within that framework. It's not really that hard to understand.

So the appropriation and of a medical term due to it's constant use leading to an eventual change in it's definition and understood meaning is ok? That same logic can be applied to using the word racism. When you and other people get angsty about use of the word racism you're referring to a...

Like how people use the word moron?

I don't know if you have been to a sports day recently for kids aged 5-8, but athletics is not the main composition. As I said from 9ish onwards they do race etc on sports day. The above are anecdotal so it maybe different elsewhere. We'll have to disagree about "The earlier in life that...

I'd say the majority of the young people i know are motivated and work hard. Their views on things like buying a house are more a case of realism, in that it's unlikely to happen in the near future and so they're just up for enjoying life as much as possible. The non competitive sports days...

I'm not saying that you did. After going to sports day for the first time with my eldest daughter and seeing what it was about, I explained to my other kids when they went that it's just about having fun. They get plenty of opportunities to participate in competitive sports anyway so they saw...

Yeah I know it's different. I just posted it because it's interesting. I have two sons who play, one at u13 and one at u9. So I've been fortunate/unfortunate to experience the highs and lows of youth football!!

From what I've seen that is the case. The kids just treat it as fun. Certainly the case for my kids and their friends. I can't comment for what other people say to their kids about sports day, but I've said to mine that it's just about having fun. They get it. I'm talking about kids up until...

Yeah it does, but it's not really that big a deal. The idea as I understand it is just for the kids to be active. Most kids don't really care and just see it as a bit of fun. From my own kids experience, schools do have other avenues for competitive sports. Usually in more traditional sports...

It's just a lazy term picking up on the actions of a minority and applying it as a generalisation. Similar to the idea that everyone on the left is an appeaser or a bit wet and that everyone on the right is some kind of rabid bigot.
