Mate so true. I finished my 13 year standard education last year and have to say that many of the people I associated with are in for some major shocks.
The cotton wool effective on children these days has be lessened or gotton rid of.

AIA's 2001-2002 Politically Correct Top Ten List
The 2001-2002 school year witnessed some of the most despicable displays of political correctness in AIA's 17-year history. From professors welcoming the 9-11 attacks to an academic press publishing a NAMBLA-inspired pro-pedophile rant, Accuracy in Academia's 2001-2002 Politically Correct Top Ten List truly shocks:
10 As the whole nation mourned on the morning September 11, 2001, University of New Mexico Professor Richard Berthold bluntly proclaimed to his students, "Anyone who can blow up the Pentagon would get my vote." Having time to think about it, he repeated his callous assertion to his next class.
9 Berkeley reinstated a for-credit student-taught class called "Male Sexuality." Accuracy in Academia's Campus Report had earlier exposed a class final project where two freshmen walked naked around the city of Berkeley with a video camera. The course featured lectures by porn stars, papers describing students' masturbatory experiences, and visits to sex shops. This year, Berkeley's student paper revealed that at class trips a male instructor had sex with a dancer at a gay strip club and students participated in an orgy.
8 Tenured professor Kenneth Hearlson of Orange Coast College was suspended without a hearing for claiming in class that Muslims who condemn terrorism in the U.S. but not in Israel were inconsistent. Several Muslim students took offense at the discussion, which grew heated. They complained to administrators that Hearlson made bigoted statements and threatened them-a contention that the professor and other students in the class contested-and Hearlson was arbitrarily removed from his teaching duties within two days of the in-class discussion. "It's not a free speech issue," school spokesman Bob Dees maintained. "It's a teacher conduct issue." Despite the existence of audiotapes totally exonerating Hearlson, the school refused to lift his suspenion for the entire semester. Until Hearlson's lawyer publicly released the tapes, the school refused to even admit that the charges against their employee were calumny.
7 A Luntz poll of Ivy League professors revealed a startling political bias. In the 2000 elections, 84% of professors surveyed voted for Al Gore, a mere 9% voted for George Bush. David Horowitz, who commissioned the survey, remarked, "For all the Ivy League's talk of diversity, it is painfully evident from this survey that there is no real diversity when it comes to political attitudes and social values of Ivy League professors."
6 Faculty and administrators at UNLV's school of law shouted down a Marine recruiter trying to make a pitch to interested students. Law professor Mary La France, librarian Matthew Wright, and others crashed Captain Felix Rodriguez's prearranged October 22 meeting with students considering service in the Marines. The group blared a videotape decrying the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on homosexuals, handed out pro-gay literature, and shouted whenever Captain Rodriguez attempted to speak. Regent Tom Kirkland reacted with candor: "We have a group of people over there that really hate the military."
5 Boston College Professor Charles Pinderhughes stalked AIA's Christopher Chow for several blocks and confiscated an audiotape the reporter had made of a session at the Black Panther's 35th reunion held at the University of the District of Columbia. At the conference, Pinderhughes declared that Mao and Stalin never ran any death camps. He benignly called them, "reeducation camps." After the session, Chow questioned Pinderhughes. The professor insisted that notions of mass-killings in China and Russia was simply "right-wing propaganda," and wanted to know what newspaper was asking. "Campus Report," responded Chow. "That's a conservative paper," the outraged Panther said. The BC prof, who had himself taped the session, now demanded Chow's audiotape of the workshop. When Chow refused and tried to leave, Pinderhughes followed Chow into the lobby, shouting, "This guy's a conservative! This guy's with Campus Report!" Chow soon found himself surrounded by an angry mob. Chow left but still Pinderhughes and a cohort followed him. His stalkers cornered him in an apartment building several blocks away, initially taking his personal bag. The bag was returned, but Pnderhughes refused to cede the tape. Conference officals kicked Chow out of the conference.
4 College of New Jersey student Edward Drago was the victim of anti-gay hate crimes at the hands of an unlikely perpetrator: himself. Drago was arrested at the beginning of the school year after police discovered Drago himself had sent himself death threats and hateful anti-gay messages. In addition to providing personal security for Drago, the threats prompted the school to hold two "Safe Zone Socials," cancel classes so that students could attend pro-homosexual teach-ins, and deluge the campus with "Safe Zone" stickers.
3 As administrators defended the burning of the American flag, college officials partook in a crusade of censorship against patriotic expression in the wake of 9-11. At Marquette, undergraduates were blocked from holding a moment of silence around an American flag. The gesture, top officials worried, might alienate foreign students. The site of American flags on university buses so angered Lehigh's vice provost for student affairs that he initially reacted by banning the Flag's display by school employees. "The message was supposed to be that we are sensitive to everyone," held John Smeaton, the administrator who gave the order. Arizona State officials removed an American flag in a school cafeteria after officials worried that it might offend foreign students. Flag burners at Amherst College, on the other hand, were defended by the school's president, who implied that the act of burning the Stars and Stripes might in some way be patriotic.
2 The University of Minnesota Press published an unscholarly screed trumpeting the supposed virtues of sex between adults and children. The book, Harmful to Minors, asserts that "Sex is not harmful to children" and contains a foreword by Joycelyn Elders. "Pedophiles are not generally violent," author Judith Levine maintains, adding, "If there is such a thing as a pedophile at all." The supposedly academic treatise cites the NAMBLA Bulletin and Alfred Kinsey's data on children derived from pedophiles to buttress its claims.
1 On September 22, Zewdalem Kebede overheard a group of Saudi Arabian students at San Diego State praising the 9-11 attacks. Kebede, who speaks fluent Arabic, surprised the students by interrupting their conversation in their native tongue. "Guys, what you are talking about is unfair. How do you feel happy when those five- to six-thousand people are buried in two or three buildings?" Kebede said to the students. "You are proud of [the terrorists]. You should have to feel shame." The ensuing conversation grew heated, with a Saudi accusing the recently naturalized American of objecting to students speaking Arabic. Shortly thereafter, Kebede and the Saudi students parted ways. A half hour later, the campus police came-for Kebede! Soon, the university ordered him to attend a disciplinary meeting and threatened him with expulsion because, it was alleged, he had been "verbally abusive to other students." He received a letter ordering him to respond to his accusers or face sanctions. Outraged, the Ethiopian immigrant went public. SDSU subsequently backed off the charges and concluded the matter with a threat of disciplinary action. "You are admonished to conduct yourself as a responsible member of the campus community in the future," the school's missive warned. That's precisely what some would say that Kebede was doing on September 22, when he castigated those who celebrated mass-murder.

Top 10 Politically Incorrect Kids Books
10. Little House on the Prairie 1935, Laura Ingalls Wilder
This book is considered off limits now because of its treatment of American Indians (the Osage figure prominently in the story). Despite the fact that Laura Ingalls Wilder gives us a important historical look at social perspectives through this book, it is still considered bad. The book is based on decades-old memories of Laura Ingalls Wilder's childhood in the Midwest region of the United States during the late 19th century.
9. Huckleberry Finn 1884, Mark Twain
Huckleberry Finn is undoubtedly the most challenged book in American history - to this day attempts are made to make the book more "suitable" for a modern audience. Although the Southern society it satirized was already a quarter-century in the past by the time of publication, the book immediately became controversial, and has remained so to this day. CBS Television went so far as to produce a made-for-TV version of Huck Finn that included no black cast members, no mention of slavery, and without the critical character Jim.
8. Kim 1900, Rudyard Kipling
Kim is about an Anglo-Irish boy on his travells across the Indian continent. Its depiction of Colonial India has caused it to be considered controversial by many people. Kipling is, of course, most famous for his Jungle Book.
7. Babar the Elephant 1931, Jean de Brunhoff
Babar the Elephant is a popular French children's fictional character who first appeared in L'Histoire de Babar. Some writers, have argued that, although superficially delightful, the stories are politically and morally offensive for their justification of French colonialist ideas.
6. Noddy and Bigears 1949, Enid Blyton
Noddy and Bigears are two characters by Enid Blyton who have recently been under scrutiny and even accused of homosexuality for various scenes in the books in which they share a bed. This is entirely ridiculous, but it has meant that modern editions of the books have had those scenes removed, as well as any mention of the naughty golliwogs that live in the woods.
5. Dr Dolittle 1920, Hugh Lofting
The books have been accused of racism, due to the usage of derogatory terms for and depiction of certain ethnic groups therein, both written and illustrated. Editions in the United States sometimes had alterations made from the 1960s, but the books went out-of-print in the 1970s. In 1986, to mark the centenary of Lofting's birth, new editions were published which had such passages rewritten or removed (sometimes called bowdlerisation). Offending illustrations were either removed (and replaced with unpublished Lofting originals) or altered.
4. Little Black Sambo 1899, Helen Bannerman
Despite this book being about an Indian boy, the illustrations in the original European version portray Sambo using "darky iconography", with black skin, wildly curly hair, and bright red lips. The word "sambo" has a long history as a racial slur against blacks. Because the story itself does not contain any racist ideas, recent publications remain tell the same story, with new images to replace the originals.
3. The Three Golliwogs 1946, Enid Blyton
The Three Golliwogs is a book about three friendly golliwogs that discover an abandoned house in the woods and move in. The controversy over this book (and in fact, many of Blyton's books) lies simply in the fact that the Golliwog character is now deemed to be racist. Golliwogs have been depicted as both villains and heroes.
2. Tintin in Congo 1930, Hergé
Tintin in the Congo has often been criticized as having racist and colonialist views, as well as several scenes of violence against animals. Hergé has later claimed that he was only portraying the naïve views of the time. When the album was redrawn in 1946, Hergé removed several references to the fact that the Congo was at that time a Belgian colony.
1. Ten Little Niggers 1860, Septimus Winner
I am sure no one needs to be told why this rhyme is now considered to be politically incorrect. It is found in the adults novel Ten Little Niggers which is now called "And Then there were None" - it is Christie's best selling novel. It is derived from the original rhyme by Septimus Winner which was written for his minstrel show, but in his original it was called Ten Little Injuns.
10. Little House on the Prairie 1935, Laura Ingalls Wilder
This book is considered off limits now because of its treatment of American Indians (the Osage figure prominently in the story).

Why not try something like this next time ?
"So if I follow your jugement, next time I have sex with your wife I will have to invite all of your family ?"
You'll certainly piss him off but it will be well deserved.
P.S. Don't do that when your girlfriend is next to you, because it could get you in some serious troubles.

I've stayed away from this thread too as I am under stress medication, but how can you overlook it?
I grew up in San Diego and could see Mexico out the back window. All the things that have been said on here I can totally agree with. Of course back in the day when I would explain these illeagle troubles to visitors from out of the area and once Congressman Bob Filner who knocked on my door before a election, I was always smugly told you live in a border area, it's just a fact of life, get used to it. Now we have the same problems here and my best freind is a dispatcher for the VA state police and you would not believe the number of illeage hit and runs.
Funny thing here...back in the 80s and 90s in CA it was "Deal with it" and now that they are here in hugh numbers "It's a national problem!" which it is.
Of course the same people here in the DC Metro Area who complain the loudest have the illeagles they are crying about building thier decks and mowing thier grass.
The one bright thing I have out of all of this is Mr Gomez next door, the father of my best freind when I grew up in San Deigo. Mr Gomez came to America in December 1941 to fight the Japanese and earn his citizenship the right way. He took a bayonet in some Pacific island. Upon his return from the war he brought his bride from Baja Califronia, they both became citizens and worked hard and raised a family that anyone cuold be proud of.
His kids and my brother and I went to the same school in the late 1970s. I was in the office one time (I was in about the 4th grade, I am sure I screwed up again, I don't remember why)
At that time San Diego City schools would print notes and permission slips in both english and spanish.
I'm sitting here waiting for my turn with the principle when the office door about flys off and Mr Gomez comes storming in and demands to see the principle in a very loud angery voice (He was a man you could hear sneezing two blocks away, some thing we still joke about)
The principle came out and Mr Gomez slammed this paper on the desk so hard I though it was going to break and said " I fought for this G**n county, I killed a sh*t load of Japs and took a f**king baynet in the back so that flag (pointing to the stars and stripes in the corner) can be my familie's and my flag!
I'm A American! Send me this sh*t in ENGLISH G*dd*nm it!"
With that Mr Gomez shormed back out almost taking the door down again. We got sent back to class and I have never forgotten that.
I shudder to think what would have happened had that taken place today.

I grew up in San Diego and could see Mexico out the back window. All the things that have been said on here I can totally agree with. Of course back in the day when I would explain these illeagle troubles to visitors from out of the area and once Congressman Bob Filner who knocked on my door before a election, I was always smugly told you live in a border area, it's just a fact of life, get used to it. Now we have the same problems here and my best freind is a dispatcher for the VA state police and you would not believe the number of illeage hit and runs.
Funny thing here...back in the 80s and 90s in CA it was "Deal with it" and now that they are here in hugh numbers "It's a national problem!" which it is.
Of course the same people here in the DC Metro Area who complain the loudest have the illeagles they are crying about building thier decks and mowing thier grass.
The one bright thing I have out of all of this is Mr Gomez next door, the father of my best freind when I grew up in San Deigo. Mr Gomez came to America in December 1941 to fight the Japanese and earn his citizenship the right way. He took a bayonet in some Pacific island. Upon his return from the war he brought his bride from Baja Califronia, they both became citizens and worked hard and raised a family that anyone cuold be proud of.
His kids and my brother and I went to the same school in the late 1970s. I was in the office one time (I was in about the 4th grade, I am sure I screwed up again, I don't remember why)

I would be glad and honored to have Mr. Gomez live next to me.

I second that!
Oh, that's easy to fix. Next time somebody complains about it, ask all the ladies present that are prostitutes to stand up so you can see who you're offending. That should take care of it.
Good story about Mr. Gomez. Gotta respect a guy like that.
