Kids told to bake PC pizza
The Sun ^ | 1-19-08 | ROBIN PERRIE

Posted on 01/18/2008 5:11:39 PM PST by atomic conspiracy

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.”

We frequently ask students to look at all manner of other view-points so they gain a full understanding of a topic.

But why is it the 20% who are Muslim never have to do the same to our culture?

If we really want to NOT offend people — put human flesh on the the pizza.

There, all fixed.

Oh it’s my favorite comedian routine. Jeff Dunham and Achmed the Dead Terrorist. It does have some “language” just in case you’re delicate.

No problems then, thanks!

I’ve seen some disturbing links offered so you got to be careful, even on FR!

Let’s see... if we got a vegan kid and someone who was allergic to tomatoes in the same room, then I guess they can’t have pizza at all!

Pfft. I’m lactose intolerant and even with the lactase stuff I still generally can’t handle pizza, so I’ll just call dibs on the breadsticks and everybody’s happy.

***No pork. The Sun’s basic political correctness is showing.***

The pork is on page 3. ;-D

Sent this to the author of the article (email address at link):

“STUNNED schoolkids were asked to design a politically-correct PIZZA which would not offend anyone.”

The Sun’s staff made what you called a un-pc pizza.

There was one glaring omission: PORK!

What are you politically correct, cowardly wankers afraid of?”

I liked the PCB (pineapple canadian bacon) for a long time but one day the pizza place was out of CB so I said then throw on italian sausage. Bada-Booom-Bada-Bing! Got my new pizza. But a ‘roni and O’s could work. :o)

An empty pizza pan would about do it. Wheat and milk are two big allergens and a number of people are allergic to tomatoes.

Nothing left to put any toppings on.

People only THINK they’re going to hell for eating certain things.

There are bigger issues to send people to hell for; like cutting off someone’s head cause you don’t like them.

I am deeply offended by what is overtly missing, shrimp, oysters, & perpperoni.

It is hilarious that they failed to mention that the cheese is made from pig’s milk, though. ;)

KRAMER: Alright, put a little sauce on here... Some cheese...

POPPIE: Not too much!

KRAMER: And...cucumbers!

POPPIE: Wait a second...what is that?

KRAMER: It’s cucumbers.

POPPIE: No, no. You can’t put cucumbers on a pizza.

KRAMER: Well, why not? I like cucumbers.

POPPIE: That’s not a pizza. It’ll taste terrible.

KRAMER: But that’s the idea, you make your own pie.

POPPIE: Yes, but we cannot give the people the right to choose any topping they want! Now on this issue there can be no debate!

KRAMER: What gives you the right to tell me how I would make my pie?

POPPIE: Because it’s a pizza!

KRAMER: It’s not a pizza until it comes out of the oven!

POPPIE: It’s a pizza the moment you put your fists in the dough!
