The town of Danvers, Massachusetts can now claim prideful ownership of two great overreactions in American history.  The first was the Salem Witch Trials.  The second?  Banning the word “meep” at Danvers High School.

  1. There’s been a lot of chatter about this among educators in Michigan where the statewide assessments are called the MEAPs (Michigan Educational Assessment Program). MEAP is used as noun, adjective and verb. And sometimes expletive.

    Louisiana uses the same acronym–the LEAPs (off a high bridge, no doubt).
