The fall of the Western World

If you thought stupid ideas like http://www.sbsun.com/Stories/0,1413,208~12588~2969790,00.html teaching ‘ebonics’ in public schools were unique to great American liberal minds, guess again. England has their fair share of left-leaning morons… check this out:

Reuters: Get ready to e-mail this one to your friends…

LONDON (Reuters) – The word “fail” should be banned from use in British classrooms and replaced with the phrase “deferred success” to avoid demoralizing pupils, a group of teachers has proposed.

Oh, little Johnny, you’re not stupid, your intelligence has just been deferred.
No, Mary, you don’t have to worry about not doing your homework, your success has just been deferred.
Don’t worry, Timmy, you didn’t fail the 4th grade, it’s just that your progression to the 5th grade has been deferred!

It would seem the intelligence of the “Professional Association of Teachers” has been… deferred.
