STUNNED schoolkids were asked to design a politically-correct PIZZA which would not offend anyone.
Pupils were told to discuss which toppings might upset religious groups, veggies or people with allergies.
In response, The Sun’s culinary experts have cooked up the most unPC pizza in Britain, with ingredients to offend everyone.
Greg McLaughlan, 40, whose daughter Chelsea, 12, was in the lesson, said: “It’s ridiculous to tell kids what they can put on pizza. It makes race relations more difficult.”
But headteacher Jan Charters defended the lesson at Oakwood Technology College, Rotherham, South Yorks – where a fifth of pupils are Muslim.
She said: “We frequently ask students to look at all manner of other view-points so they gain a full understanding of a topic.”
P C pizza unfit for human consumption!
I think the whale bacon is even better than pork

It is so spectacularly one sided.
Only one side is expected and demanded to make allowances.
The other side is not.
Anyone with a brain can see it's about weakening, neutering, and paralyzing one sector so as to allow the other to make inroads.
What other PC things can we think of?
Not intending to highjack the thread but this could get fun... {{evil laugh}}
What! No Cat! The other white meat! Signed, ALF - HA, I kill me!
Nope. But they can have my share. I’m not sensitive.
Good for you!
“all ingredients might offend someone” For example, cheese would offend a lactose intolerant person
(sure made my butt smell funny though ! ! !)
TMI! TMI!
kujira bacon is very nice, but I think that Kagoshima kurobuta pork can be sublime.
There's one particular method of preparation where it is slowly simmered that I find utterly magical.
I’m strictly Peperoni and onions. I’ll order a “meat-lovers” every so often.
I’m willing to try different things. Once a friend convinced me to try “Pineapple and Canadian Bacon.” Nobody got hurt.
Alright; I came close to kicking his @ss but I restrained myself and feel I am wiser for the experience. “Pineapple and Canadian Bacon” Pizza sucks.
spotted owl I’m sure
Exactly--and I'm sure someone is allergic to tomatoes.
This would also be a good place to teach the kids “you can’t please all the people all the time”.
While our schools are treating MLK Day as tolerance and diversity training (nothing wrong with that) - our family will be having discussions of how far do you take tolerance and diversity.
Last night my 10 year old told us that raising your pinky in China is like the “middle finger” in the U.S. (Anyone know if that is true?) But - the idea of “relativism” peaked its head. And yes, for some things it IS relative. (Pinkies raised at tea-time in England - okay! China - no.)
Lots of this to me gets covered under good manners. Your friend is coming over for dinner and he can’t eat pork? Have the cheese pizza for him. Even if he sneaks a bite later!
Even Hitler, if he had had good manners may have been okay perhaps!? (”Well, I really want to get rid of all the Jews - but that wouldn’t be very polite”.)
My most treasured download.
Here. It’s a gift to you for being a nice guy.
