Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Class is now in session. The rules are simple, you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I will not be able to monitor the class today, so I'm asking xsmommy to hold the grade book, and the whip and chair.

Here is my example with WFTD.

The attempts by a group of black parents in Oberlin, Ohio to prevent a white teacher from teaching a "Black History" class is an inexcusable quietus (3) of his rights and his professionalism, not to mention blatant racism and discrimination.

Parents: White Teacher Should Not Teach Black History

Sounds to me like it's to PREVENT quietus after coitus. But what is she worried about? It's usually the female that devours the male after mating (see Praying Mantis and Black Widow Spider). A+ anyway
