Political Correctness

I don't want to sound like a PC idiot.

I can't stand political correctness. It's worse for ME because often times when I speak or write something, it comes out in a way that people misconstrue, which makes me so nervous about offending people.

PC-ness has definitely changed things around here. My mother used to work at the administration building at the University of Kansas, and she tells me it used to house a big Christmas tree with lights every December (the ornaments kept getting stolen).

Now, whenever I walk in the lobby, there are no lights, no tree, just little banners hung from the second floor balcony, one for Christmas, one for Hanukkah, one for Kwanzaa, and one reading "CELEBRATE DIVERSITY".

That's disturbing. Particularly with a university as bent on tradition as KU.

I would have loved to see that tree.
