The PC Crowd and the cheering claque that makes up most of the media and virtually all of academia is starting to go a bit too far. The final straw may not even be the removal of "under God" from our Pledge of Allegiance, but the removal of any and every phrase, reference, or nickname that someone, somewhere, might find offensive.
We have lived through Indian Native American nicknames such as The Stanford Indians and The St. John's Redmen being replaced by The Cardinal and The Red Storm. Apparently colors are less offensive than references to the original inhabitants of this nation. Unless, of course, the color involved is black. We have seen a complete cycle from "colored people" to "Blacks" to "African Americans" to "Afro-Americans" and now back to "people of color."
And after short people became "vertically challenged" and blind people became "visually challenged" and dumb people became "academically challenged," the PC mavens that comprise the moronic mafiosa of mediocrity have determined that "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" might be offensive to, well, hunchbacks. Well, I say Hugo your way and I'll go mine. I'm not quite ready for the football team to go from "The Fighting Irish" to "The Gentle Gaelics."
I refuse to bow to this PC bullsh*t. I have always called it "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" and I will continue to do so. Just let on of those PC freaks try to correct me on that title.
