Oh look, another reason to consider home schooling (Buffy says, "Homeschooling - it's not just for scary religious people any more!")

The film version of "1776," based on the Broadway musical about the crafting of the Declaration of Independence, has been banned in Fairfax County middle schools because of sexual innuendo in a conversation between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. (The rest of the article is at the link.)

In a word, arrrrgggghhhhh!

Of course, the real question is, if there was no sex in history, how did we all get here?

***Edited to add this choice quote***

"I watched the video," coordinator Sara Shoob said. "There's some sexual innuendo and language, and when you're talking about the Declaration of Independence, that does not have to be part of your discussion."
