The P.C. Police Strike Again
By Matt Margolis | May 4, 2003
You almost have to read this to believe it.
Political correctness has once again begun to water down and rewrite history in California. A textbook review process in the state has made some changes.
Among these changes, California textbooks may no longer:
…feature pictures of hot dogs, sodas, cakes, butter, and other kinds of foods that are not considered nutritious.
…make references to “The Founding Fathers.” They will now be dubbed “The Framers” in order to sound less male-dominant.
..feature any reading about Mount Rushmore, because it allegedly offends some American-Indians.
…say “snowman.” It is now “snowperson.”
…use the word yacht, for it sounds too elitist.
…use the term “senior citizen” because it is apparently too demeaning. They are now called “older persons.”
…use the word “jungle.” They must now be called rainforests.
…use the word “devil.” No replacements were made for that word.
…depict Native Americans with long braids, in rural settings or on reservations.
Political Correctness has become a disease weakening our history. These dominantly liberal organizations are so paranoid about sterotyping and offending people, that history pays the price by losing its accuracy and truth.

PC is ridiculous. People get offened. It happens now. It has happened throughout the entire history of humanity. Just because you decide to omit talking about Mt. Rushmore in a textbook because it might offend some Native Americans doesn’t erase the fact that Mt. Rushmore still exists, does it?
