    PC has become very PU to me.
    I consider it an insult to sheer common sense.

    When did the melting pot become the melted pot? When I was a kid, examples of intolerance were given as being against people of a certain ethnic background. Today, intolerance is aimed mostly at America by Americans. It's a strange world we have devolved into.

    This is one of those Hank Rearden i-could-say-it-but-I-won't moments.

    I could say, and cite this as a prize example, that the government schools are deplorable for the indoctrination in "political correctness" they offer in lieu of honest instruction.

    I could say it, but I won't. Because it's not the government's place to offer instruction, proper or improper, in anything but the arts of war, and then only to candidates for active military service, and the American military officer corps.

    I heard on Fox last evening that the dance is back,
    after all of the reaction to this stupid criticism. -- j

    Apparently being American and taking pride in being American is now considered original sin.

    Just.
    Wow.....
    Aren't all who come here, and become citizens, Americans??? I don't understand what the hell is wrong with people. I'm so sick and tired of hearing daily that somehow being American, and proud of it, IN THIS COUNTRY, is somehow offensive. I find the PC police more offensive! They are suppressing free speech! OMG this irks the heck out of me....

    If someone starts a fund to pay for them to hold the dance somewhere else, I would contribute

    attend in any costume they like, while calling it
    American -- the melting pot, er, well, cauldron,
    without the pot. -- j

    I'm absolutely disgusted by the school administrators, but incredibly proud of the students! I heard on Fox this morning that the school had pressured the students to change the theme of the dance, and the students refused.
    This gives me hope for the future. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the younger generation got fed up by the political correctness and stood up for what is right? Wow!
