Subject: Kansas Board of Education to redefine numbers: 1, 2, 3, "Many"
Declaring today that "no decent, God-fearing person needs to be worrying about numbers
bigger than that holiest of numbers, three" the Kansas Board of Education declared today
that the only numbers to be taught in their mathematics books will be 1, 2, and 3.
Any quantity larger than that is to be referred to as "many," although they did allow for some
room for shades of meaning, with "lots" and "helluva lot" being acceptable concepts for advanced coursework, with parental permission given in advance, of course. :N
