DANVERS, Mass. - Who knew "meep!" was a four-letter word?
The utterance favored by bungling lab assistant Beaker of "The Muppet Show" has been banned at Danvers High School in Massachusetts after students said it to repeatedly interrupt school.
Principal Thomas Murray says the word was part of a disruption planned using Facebook.
The Salem News reports that parents recently got an automated call about "meep!" from Murray. He warned them that students who said or displayed the word at school could be suspended.
Murray says the warning was needed because students didn't heed his "reasonable request" to stop the meeping.
Danvers High sophomore Melanie Crane says it doesn't mean anything in particular.

What a tool. I'd bitch about censorship charges. Getting them in trouble for disrupting class = okay. Getting them in trouble for saying "meep" to their friends or having it written on a shirt = censorship & fucking retarded.

That's stupid.
Banning a word isn't cool, just punish them severely if they use it to purposefully disrupt class :/
Disco is neat.

Lol, that never stops kids from doing it.
In-fact it would make people want to do it more.

Thats stupid
Humans yawn when they think of it.

instead of banning the word meep why don't you just punish kids that continue to interrupt. I mean hell everyone can just change the word to "beep" and not get i trouble for it and it would be just as irritating.

You can't ban a word or its saying unless it is deemed to be "deplorable" by a court of law infringes on free speech.

The word Meep...out of all the words to ban u ban one from the Muppets....a Kids show...that was dumb and a waste of time to even consider banning it...He needs to retire

I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as it isn't disruptive or distracting.
- 25 Dec. 2009 03:31am #24
I think it is dumb and they should get in trouble for doing it but for saying the word they should not be punished and banned as a word.
- 05 Jan. 2010 05:09am #25
Thats just Bull shit
There issomething rong with that guy
I would keep saying it just to piss him off
- 05 Jan. 2010 09:14pm #26
It may be dumb but its not censorship. If it is interrupting class then the staff has the authority to ban it
