Even MORE PC run amok
MORE PC BS run amok:
The tradition of show-and-tell is slowly disappearing from American school, reports the St. Petersburg Times, partly because teachers want to avoid creating self-esteem problems for children who don’t bring interesting enough items.
The goal of the exercise, to promote self-esteem, "backfires when children try to outdo each other," writes Katherine Snow Smith. "Show and tell" turns into "bring and brag." Mona Schuster, a child development specialist with the Pinellas County schools in Florida, says the intent was to make children feel better about themselves by bringing something from home. But in later years, she says, kids have started bringing in things that are bigger and better and brighter than what their friends brought in.

and now this:
A Chicago cable news channel suspended one employee, fired a contributor and issued an apology after an anchor made a reference to Aunt Jemima on air, reports the Chicago Sun Times.
An episode of "Sports Page" on CLTV featured a spokesman for a local hunting and fishing days event dressed in traditional hunting camouflage and a turkey-feather hat. The show’s host, Steve Kashul, remarked that the spokesman "looked a lot like Aunt Jemima."
Following complaints about the remark, the station management issued an apology to viewers for what it called an "insensitive and inappropriate" broadcast that violated "programming and workplace standards."

i think aunt jemima pancakes should be banned. AND her syrup too!!! racist maple syrup providers!!!!!
and so should mrs. butterworth. the feminists should be up in arms about a woman being held down to the lowly position of "syrup pusher". she should be boycotted because she does not represent the true woman of the new millenium.
and while we're at it, let's boycott sara lee. surely she has better things to do than to be locked up in a hot kitchen making pastries all day.
and lastly let's boycott summer's eve. i think eve should make better use of her time than mixing ******s!!
hee hee haa haa.
