A public school in CA that recently banned the 10th edition of the Merriam Webster Dictionary has thankfully decided to put it back on the shelves.

I thought this was a first but then read that the American Heritage Dictionary was banned by the Eldon, MO library in 1978 and by the Anchorage School Board in 1987. 

Drat, they’ve finally realized what most of us discovered as children – there are lots of wonderfully, colorful words and oaths in the dictionary.
