POPSMississippi School Students Told Not To Say Obama's Name “As adults and professionals we are not going to deprive anyone of their excitement over the current election of President-elect Obama, or any other candidate,” Ladner said. “The whole nation was excited, and in no way and at no time will children be disciplined for saying the name of the president-elect of the United States. Any employee who would attempt to do that would be corrected and disciplined. We expect professional behavior, respect and demeanor of staff and students. It is unfortunate that some employees mishandled this situation but they have been disciplined and I have spent the day clarifying our policies."

A series of shows on TV Land will commemorate the list in mid-December. What TV pop culture quotes and catchphrases from the past do you think should have made the list? - Plastic.com
