If you wonder why children in America's failed government school monopolies aren't learning, perhaps it's because P.C.-crazed educrats are too busy acting as left-wing thought police.

Out in La-La Land, educrats are rewriting history to appease those who make a career of taking offense at reality. California's textbooks are being changed as follows, according to Fox News Channel:

To liberals the wrong words can mess up your self-esteem for the rest of your life. Our psyches are too fragile to handle reality.

I believe alot of this will die with the 60s generation. Since they totally ignored all history and believe the earth was essentially created the day they were born

Listen, you young whipper snapper......LOL.

Would you be surprised to know how many people post right along with you every day on this forum that are from the 60's generation?

We got it.

I am not surprised at all. There are some very good people from that generation. I am just talking about the other ones. And I am not that young, early 70s generation (which is about the same in terms of number of idiots). Its just that I spent of lot of time with my grandfather, where I got most of my values. I worship the WWII generation, have contributed the last few years to the memorial in DC which is being build as we speak.

How can you be offended? They've removed all the "good stuff."

Here is a good start on the subject:

The Language Police
Hardcover: ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.18 x 9.48 x 6.60
Publisher: Knopf; (April 15, 2003)
ISBN: 0375414827
Amazon.com Sales Rank: 10

I've heard the author, a seemingly no-nonsense educator, interviewed on
The Laura Ingraham Show, The Dennis Prager Show and The Savage Nation.

The author got a belly-laugh out of Dennis Prager (a conservative Jewish commentator
for my old friends in flyover country) when she said that Jews could not be portrayed
as doctors.

I assure you, people who think the word "refused" must be replaced with the word "declined" can find offense anywhere. A blank white wall? White hedgmony. A blank black wall? It is a wall of color, and I am offended that you called it anything else.

I could continue....but....

BTW. I do think that there is a portions of our generation that continues to be lost...
