That's dumb. Mankind has a will established definition. It sounding kinda like "man" doesn't change that.

Something similar to this actually happened to me - three mods on this board upheld a two-week suspension and 10KL for using the 'r-word' when talking about adjusting timing on an engine. The 'r-word' is the word that you use.

She should have followed the syllabus. No arguing that.

According to the 2000 NAEP assessments, only 32 percent of 4th graders are proficient in reading, while a dismal 26 percent are proficient in mathematics, 29 percent in science, and 18 percent in history. Proficiency rates decline by the 12th grade in most subjects. Over half of all poor students fail to reach the basic level on NAEP assessments in most subjects.[1]
In 1998, 71 percent of students graduated on-time from high school. Just over half of minority students graduated.
Over the past 30 years, average per-pupil expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools have nearly doubled, rising from $3,367 in 1970 to $6,584 in 2000 in constant dollars.[8]
The average private school tuition nationwide, according to a 1996 Cato Institute study, was $3,116, with 67 percent of all private elementary and secondary schools charging $2,500 or less.[9]
Total K-12 federal, state, and local spending for Education, both public and private, climbed to over $420 billion for the 2000-2001 school year.[10]
Over half of all public schools reported a criminal incident to the police. Incidents ranged from fistfights, theft, or vandalism to serious violent crimes. 10 percent of schools reported serious violent crimes.[21]
