Expunge Humanity from Textbooks

I think humanity should be expunged from all books used in schools. This will solve a number of problems. First, there will no longer be a need for revisionist history. Second, the problem of gender vis-à-vis sex will be obviated. And last, but certainly not least, as all schoolchildren know, humanity provides an atrocious role model.

"Expunge 'em", Doreen says with a dismissive, imperious fluttering of the wrist.

Think how much more interesting English and American literature will be without people ruining perfectly good story lines.

Think of "The Raven". It's the raven that carries the poem. Who gives a fuck about Lenore?
