I bet they have removed all the Homogenized milk from the cafeteria as well.

quote A social media specialist for a Utah language school that teaches English to non-native speakers says he was fired for writing a blog post about homophones—words that sound the same, but carry different meanings—because his boss was afraid readers would think it was about "gay sex." Tim Torkildson told the Salt Lake Tribune that shortly after his lesson went up, Nomen Global Language Center owner Clarke Woodger fired him, complaining "now our school is going to be associated with homosexuality." "I had to look up the word" Woodger said, according to the account Torkildson published on his personal blog, "because I didn't know what the hell you were talking about. We don't teach this kind of advanced stuff to our students, and it's extremely inappropriate. Can you have your desk cleaned out by eleven this morning? I'll have your check ready." It seems too ridiculous to believe, but Torkildson's former employer confirmed the incident of homophonia actually happened. "People at this level of English," Woodger told the Tribune, "may see the 'homo' side and think it has something to do with gay sex." Torkildson disagrees. He wrote that homophones are "one of the first subjects tackled when teaching ESL," and said his piece about them was very straightforward. The Tribune points out the Nomen blog published another post on the topic in 2011, apparently without incident. Torkildson, a 60-year-old who enjoys taking quirky selfies, had only worked at Nomen for three months. Although he claims Woodger told him he's only suited for "clerical work," he's now seeking another social media job.

If true, what ridiculious behavior for a fellow homo sapien.

People are so stupid. Its hard to fathom sometimes.

Didn't a congressman or such have to resign for using the word niggardly?

PC police on patrol! We had a history teacher fired around here because he tried to teach about the civil war, it was labeled as racist. WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP???

NOPE.....I agree with him...

HomePHOBE indicates FEAR of homosexuals....

What if there is no fear?, only disgust ?

Fear and disgust are 2 very-very different human thought processes an emotions....

Lets use an example.

I am in a bar/club and some HOT chick with one of THOSE red dresses and heels who has had WAY too much dope, booze, and noize is acting like an idiot, sluring her words, and pukes up the tater skins all over my lap...

So what is my Phobia ? (fear)

Hot chicks?
Red dresses?
Heels?
Slurred words?
Puking in my lap?

Am I really-really AFRAID (phobic) of any of those ? <uh, no>

Do they disgust me in a package? <uh, yes>

Is that hot chick EVER-EVER going to get a chance to get in my bed <uh, no>

I am not afraid of her, I am revolted by her..........but then I am a misogynist for rejecting her based on her actions and choices. (hint, hot chicks in red dresses do whatver they way want, even puke on a mans balls, and if the man moves out of the way and lets the stupid drunk bitches head hit the floor then its violence against women.....

SEE how speech-control andthe suffix "phobic" works ?---they accuse you of being afraid and DARE you to prove your bravery, because if you dont "accept" the hottie in the little red dress puking in your lap then you MUST be a phobic about hotties......

and if you are disgusted by the idea of a man sticking his dick up your butt (or worse, your up his while he gets a reach-around, its not disgust, its fear, you are phobic.

NOPE....I am pretty sure I am not phobic, I am no more afraid of that than red heels.....disgust and self-defence against it ? thats another thing altogether.

(and NO !!!!!-----I will NOT "donate" to "pride"....you are so proud of your azz, go sell it on a street corner to earn money and keep your special-interest-social-cause the hell off mine, money AND azz !!!!!!!, MoFo>

As Jake would say, **** you that's why.

Wouldn't the word homophobe technically mean a fear of identical things?

I'll bet the real reason they fired him is they had a budget shortfall. The owner was being niggardly.

.... See as life goes on we all get dumber

Fixed it for you. Come on, you're not that fussy abouy your chicks. As long as they really are chicks and are preferrably still breathing, good enough. Right?

Whether, whether, whether, whether, whether you like it or not.
Weather, weather, weather, weather, weather is cold, warm or hot.

He'll be going after the science department next for using "homo-sapiens." And, then there's "Homo-erectus."

You better watch it with that "homo erectus" stuff. That's sexual harrassment!

At least I didn't mention that Woodger is a homophobe.
