The Sanitization of Singapore Math 

When fertile or fitting real-life or contextual questions and math tidbits or humor in a math textbook, submitted to Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE) for approval, are often rejected for politically incorrect reasons, or because the items could potentially be perceived to be linked to politics, race, religion, or sex.
Items like “Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not divide by zero!” and phrases like “beautiful curves,” “immoral algebra,” and “juicy little theorem” are banned without being given valid reasons—aren’t these rejections part of the sanitization of Singapore math to only publish sterilized or sterile contents to satisfy the mathematical wants of a humorously or prudishly challenged audience or readership?

sanitation-hygiene prescribed corpse incineration 

when,once a person succumbs to a potentially pandemic/epidemic causing disease, his body is not returned to his relatives for burial but is instead incinerated (usually by government executive order) for obvious sanitary/hygiene reasons in order to prevent further infection and try and stop the rampant pandemic/epidemic from spreading.
all the religious and superstitious spiel aside, and despite the fact that sanitation-hygiene prescribed corpse incineration was inefficiently used during The Black Death epidemic of 1347-1351 in Europe, IMHO sanitation-hygiene prescribed corpse incineration should still be considered as a viable option in treating the current Ebola outbreak in Western Africa
