Another sad day for public education
To: Retired Chemist
"The government has no business engaging in censorship and intellectually dishonest distortion of literature when it presents it to students for analysis," said Donna Lieberman of the New York Civil Liberties Union.
Boy! After they’ve managed to scrub every reference to Christianity from the public discourse, they have a lot of nerve complaining about this development.

My favorite quote, from Ray Bradbury, on the subject:
"There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority...feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse.
Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain porridge unleavened literature, licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme."
Prologue to Fahrenheit 451

What's funny is the NCLU complaining about political correctness right after its parent organization the ACLU is pushing for PC in airport security policies.
To: Sir Gawain
Ah, political correctness... ain't that great?
To: Victoria Delsoul
What's going on up in New York? Why haven't you slapped the pc libs upside their heads yet? ;-)
To: Sir Gawain
My hands aren't big enough.
To: Victoria Delsoul
Just slap them a bunch of times to get every spot. :-D
To: Sir Gawain
I'll start with you. ;-)
To: Victoria Delsoul
Hey, I'm not a pc lib! :-|~
To: Sir Gawain
I know, but I want to practice first.
To: Victoria Delsoul
Just practice on the closest guy. :-)~
To: Sir Gawain
You are... just one post away.
To: Victoria Delsoul
You'll have to catch me.
