Political correctness is dictating how we discuss issues, and what words we are allowed to use.

The fact is that these people are here illegally, but inconvenient truths must be banned................

Or I should say inconvenient truths which run counter to the liberal narrative of an issue must be banned. We must censor our speech so as not to offend the sensibilities of liberals.

And how do we describe anyone who commits any crime? How do we describe prisoners who were convicted of crimes, who did something illegal? What is the politically correct term for prisoners or criminals of any type????

First of all, when did we let 14 year olds decide policy for the city?

Second what authority does the mayor have to ban any words?

If she's ever the victim of a sexual assault, I vote we use the term "non-reciprocated sexual advance." Wouldn't want to hurt the assailant's feelings. He's a person, too, you know.

Control of the language is one of the strongest weapons of the Left.
It doesn’t matter what we think or feel if we cannot express it.
