Politically Correct Holidays

I loved you article on how the politically correct have destroyed our language. But they are smart in knowing that language is the key. How about other forms af absurdity like caregiver, firefighter, salesperson, layperson, the use of his or her in sentences, he or she, mail carrier, (anything with "man" in it has to be purged of course), and on and on. I am a teacher and it is the stated policy of the NEA to purge the language of "sexist" language from our children. I have seen "Languge Arts, not English, teachers design lessons just for this purpose.

Last wek we had a math day. One of the problems was for the children to use the process of elimination to determine who was the class president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. It was funny, because without reading a single one of the clues I already knew the 2 boys listed would not be the president and one of them would be the secretary. Do you wish to bet if I was right or not? And of course one of the children was named Allegro and another Shanika.

To everyone, look at the books and materials your children bring home these days. They are being indoctrinated by the NEA right in front of your eyes and there's really nothing you can do about it. I could go on with one horror story after another about what is happening in the schools but I do have another life.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
