I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto. The motto was “I hear, I see, I learn.” Nothing wrong with that per se. Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for “I hear, I see, I learn” is “audio, video, disco”.

What the fuck that’s the best school motto ever change it back

Your yearly reminder that “I learn through suffering” can be translated into Latin as “Disco Inferno.” 

learn, baby, learn!

I’m reminded that in 2015 a student suggested Vermont change its motto to “Stella quarta decima fulgeat [“The 14th Star Shines Bright”, 14th state to join the union]. When a local TV station reported that a Latin phrase was suggested, racist dumbshits blew up the comments section on their website screaming that it was some sort of political move honoring Mexicans/Latinos.
