A middle-school yearbook in Arkansas included a list titled the “Top 5 worst people of all time.” The list reads:

1. Adolf Hitler
2. Osama Bin Laden
3. Charles Manson
4. George W. Bush
5. Dick Cheney

After outraged parents complained, the school responded sensibly — covering the list with tape. School officials assured the student environmental club that the tape used will be biodegradable cellulose tape.

Okay, I made that last sentence up.

But the school superintendent did express surprise when he was told that the tape can be pulled off.
