What the hell is the world coming to now?

WHAT THE HELL?: English teacher Denice Kovanda gave her students at Fillmore Central High School in Geneva, Neb., an assignment: create a travel brochure for a place you'd like to visit. Michael Sattler, 16, got a grade of zero on his. "I asked what was so wrong with it," Sattler said. "She said I used the word Hell in every part of it. It was all about Hell, Hell, Hell." But, Sattler argued, his brochure wasn't for the afterlife, but rather Hell, Michigan. Sattler's parents support the boy, and sent a copy to the unofficial mayor of Hell, John Colone. "It was good," he said. "It had all the right information on it. The layout was great. It had good pictures. It was creative." Colone sent the boy a box full of Hell merchandise to share with his classmates and a "Grumpier Than Hell" coffee mug for Kovanda, but principal Jim Rose intercepted the box and says he'll send it back unopened.

The sad thing is, the lack of a sense of humor of all involved. I bet the English teacher supports political correctness as it suits her her agenda but stifles any creativity not within her narrow scope. BTW, how does a principal get to intercept a package not addressed to him? Won't that get him in the hot seat?And where the hell is the thriced damned ACLU when they are actually needed and the heat is on? Ain't this a hell of a note?
