In the United States,
official language
has been cleansed
of words
that may insult,
offend, or injure
the psyche
or racial identity
of the reader
The newest phrase
to be cleansed
from our reading palette is
SIMPLE ARITHMETIC
Because
it could be offensive
to the child
who proclaims
3 + 7 equals 12
and
I don't care
what you think
