I'd laugh, but I'm too busy crying. I'm thinking of the world my grandkids are going to grow up in, where counting sheep is verboten from PETA (to say nothing of the horrors of the cow being forced to jump over the moon) and they can't count change because Kenny's family is too poor. Welcome to the brave new world of soft indoctrination, of "everybody gets a trophy", and "your feelings trump all.In a bizarre case of political correctness run wild, educrats have banned references to “dinosaurs,” “birthdays,” “Halloween” and dozens of other topics on city-issued tests.
That’s because they fear such topics “could evoke unpleasant emotions in the students.” Dinosaurs, for example, call to mind evolution, which might upset fundamentalists; birthdays aren’t celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses; and Halloween suggests paganism.
I'm buying my grandkids helmets - they're gonna need 'em...
That is all.

Today is Holiday, citizen! Why are you sad?
Sorry, you're not allowed to call someone a citizen. It might offend an illegal, erm, undocu..., um, surprise guest in this land.
Sometimes I wonder if some of the school administrators who come up with these rules do it as a joke, then are horrified when people take it seriously.
Don't worry, pretty soon they'll outlaw math, science, and spelling, in case someone is offended at those things, and all they will teach is the glorious New Revised History of the People's Republic. As Kevin Baker would say, "Where's my Soma?"
Well at this price you can stock up on helmets for the whole family Jay.

Sooner or later the unpleasant truth will become embarrassingly obvious, even to them: people who live by political correctness can't compete with those who don't. Nature doesn't care about your feelings, and the laws of physics don't care if you're offended. They care about what you do, not what you feel.
The question then comes: do you want to do something, or do you want to whine? Whining, admittedly, starts to become attractive when our government starts handing out goodies for whining. (As long as you whine about The Right Causes, of course.) But that doesn't work too well when we run out of other people's money, which we're rapidly doing.
Sooner or later, pragmatism wins. And historically, Americans are a very pragmatic group of people. So hang in there. The PC pendulum is already starting to swing in the other direction; the signs are all around us.

Sooner or later you have to learn that lesson.
The later you learn it the more painful the lesson.
Where does it end? Or DOES it??? Sigh
You gotta go watch this:

"Harrison Bergeron" was apparently not a work of fiction after all.
Jehovah's Witnesses reject Birthdays all holidays,Thanksgiving even benign Mother's day.
The Watchtower leaders want to be 'different' for the sake of being different.Jehovah's Witnesses are a dysfunctional group from the get-go .
Christmas-Jesus was not born on exactly Dec 25th,but he also did not have his *invisible* second coming in the month of October 1914,a falsehood that is the core doctrine of the Watchtower religion.
