You Guys Are Retarded!

|

Melissa Hart says she has convinced school officials in Wethersfield, Connecticut, to confiscate ink pens that spout phrases from the movie "Napoleon Dynamite," including "Freakin' Idiot," "Yesss," "Sweet," and "You guys are retarded." Hart, whose three-year-old son has Down Syndrome, objects to that final phrase. She says the pens violate the school system's zero-tolerance policy on harassment.
