College Demands Construction Crew Remove ‘Sexist’ ‘Men Working’ Sign
National Review ^ | December 3, 2012 | Eliana Johnson

A construction crew working on the campus of Ohio’s Sinclair Community College was forced to halt work until it removed a “Men Working” sign that was deemed “sexist” by a college administrator. A spokesman for the college told National Review Online that the incident, which occurred on November 21, stemmed from the school’s “deep commitment to diversity,” and that it takes that commitment “very seriously.”

It wasn't "Men Working" that offended them.
It was "Men Working" that was offensive

I think that the college administrator must shop at the Portlandia Bookstore

Sign should be amended thus:

MEN AT WORK
Women at home baking
cookies for their return

"Men Working" should be replaced by:

“Humanoids (including, but not limited to homo sapiens, but also homo neanderthalensis, homo floresiensis, homo georgicus, homo ergasters, homo pekinensis, homo heidelbergensis, homo ergasters, homo erectus or homo habilis or any combination thereof (E&OE). To all whose religious views proscribe evolution, forgiveness is requested as we are inclusive of all views, uplifting and defending such views, except Judeo-Christian views. This notice is inclusive of all races (however self-defined) and sexes (however self-defined), whether one or more than one individual. The use of the word ‘homo’ in no way reflects any judgment, implied or implicit, on an individual’s sexual orientation (however self-defined), as all are legitimate, with the exception of a naturally-born man and a naturally-born woman who may marry until death do them part.) Working (while an individual or individuals may or may not be performing work, as defined in physics as, “when a force acts on a body so that there is a displacement of the point of application, however small, in the direction of the force”, the individual (however self-defined) or individuals’ (however self-defined) mere presence, either implied or implicit, regardless of union rules or evil right-to-work legislation, will be regarded as working. It may also include breaks for defecation, urination or any other bodily function (E&OE); coffee, tea, cigarettes, marijuana or any other substance, legal or illegal, where such actions are aiding the individual or individuals with their self-esteem or self-actualization. (E&OE) Any praising of, or praying to the Judeo-Christian God is excluded.) PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL ERRORS AND OMISSIONS ARE EXCLUDED except Judeo-Christian views and values.)

There, fixed it! This is the complete, politically correct sign to be erected at the College. An all inclusive, all encompassing sign.

Replacing such politically incorrect signs as "Men Working" with ones such as above, would increase employment in the 'rust belt' as new signs would have to be produced out of steel. As the signs would have to be much larger than exist now, there would be an increase of employment in mines, foundries, metal stamping, generating plants to feed the electricity required for production, painting, etc.

The size of such signs, large enough to ensure that all could read the full PC message, would also require two or more individuals to hold such signs, also increasing construction employment! The medical profession may also benefit, as the weight of the signs may increase the use of medical facilities. Drivers would need to slow down to read these signs, reducing oil consumption (bad oil!) and greenhouse gases (good environmentalism!). The ripple effect of such changes would be enormous for the economy, reviving it the Democratic way!

Sincerely(?),
