Save our schools from the homophone agenda!

[crandc]

From the "you can't make this shit up" file:

Newsweek reports a teacher at an English as a Second Language school in Utah was fired for posting on his blog about homophones, words with the same sound but (often) different spelling and meaning. That this is needed is shown by this board, witness "your in a brothel" or "dischord in locker room" or "NBA and it's players". How much more confusing it must be for ESL students.

The school told the teacher they did not want the school to be associated with homosexuality or a "gay agenda". Thereby proving the teacher's point.

And the homogenized milk in the school cafeteria is a late San Francisco Supervisor.

Maris, I see that inquiry was from Utah!

Eastoff, I guess in some way it's a sign of progress when businesses seek to make money off of us.
You know "we're here, we're queer, we have wallets".

She's talking about grammar and spelling and how you can change the meaning of things by those errors.
