Some liberal textbook from California apparently bans the word "ocean" because its rude for people who haven't seen the sea before....

You know, they'll soon ban the words "lazy" (work ethic motivationally challenged), "boring" (lack of active fulfillment or engagement), and even "girl" (penile-challenged).

Not that I think any of this is true, but I think banning "ocean" isn't nearly as bad as banning "evolution" from text books... and that story I can back up.
