"50-plus banned words on standardized tests

You might expect a standardized test to avoid using profane words but, it turns out, other words are banned too and they may surprise you: dinosaur and Halloween, rock ‘n roll and rap music, just to name a few.

That, at least, is what New York City education officials recently did when they provided guidance to standardized test developers, according to the New York Post . The words on the banned list (see below) were chosen because they supposedly could distract some students. 

To be fair, New York City isn’t the only place that does this. Florida and Texas, for example, avoid words such as “hurricane” on their standardized assessments."
