Is anyone else sick of all this PC nonsense that is sweeping our lives?
For example:
At my nieces school they are no loner allowed to say "blackboard" it is nor a "chalkboard" ..... WTF? it's a board that is BLACK in colour !!
They are not allowed to sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" ........ it's "Baa Baa Coloured sheep" ........ HUH? it doesn't even have the right amount of syllables to work?
The teachers are not allowed to send out letters to parents informing them if there are head lice doing the rounds in case it "discriminates" againt those who don't treat their children ......WHAT THE .... if someone cannot even be bothered to rid their own child of parasites then they DESERVE to be shamed in public !
The school in question is currently infested by fleas or something along those lines and pupils/parents AND teachers are being bitten to hell (my neice os covered in bites) but NO!! they won't make any announcement about it .......they're just going to quietly fumigate the building during the holidays.
My sisiter in laws wee brother suffers from a severe form of Crohns disease.......contact with anyone who is suffering from measles/chicken pox etc etc WILL land him in hospital and still the school refuses to inform his mother if there cases of these diseases in the school becasue it's against policy ....... her child's life is at risk and they will do nothing in case they "offend" someone.
Urgh I could go on and on but I'm sure other people have expamples of PC naffness that they woudl like to share so I'll let someone else have a rant
Or do you think PC is all for the greater good?
