A school system's dirty-word spreadsheet

[Brian Hitchcock]

I found it odd that "sleaze" and "smut" made the list.  I always thought
these to be rather mild terms, almost euphemistic. And, of course, "smut"
has non-prurient meanings. Apparently students will be blocked from
corresponding about research  on crop diseases.
