BillieBoy Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 I get that. :001_smile: I respect that. It is not religious connotations that bother me it's the government regulation of words like "pepperoni". Where does it stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceman Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Eh. That doesn't bug me. It's standardized testing, not all school tests. Standardized testing wasn't devised to teach, just to measure. And it seems to me they are attempting to avoid certain words to make the tests fair for people of different religious and cultural backgrounds. Sounds good to me. I am really not seeing the problem.
