This is absolutely insane! If they had kept the dictionaries, perhaps the administration could look up the definition to ignorant. I think it is dangerous to censot this type of material, really many reading materials. If we don't teach the children properly, and allow them to make interpretations, what will become of them when they are parents themselves? Ignorance breeds ignorance.
Banning a dictionary is as bad as banning a language itself. And besides, any kid with half an imagination and access to TNT could put a sexual spin on just about ANY word in the dictionary. So lets just tell the kids they're not allowed to speak English anymore, that'll solve the problem!
