You went to a school where they picked on gays, handicapped and minorities - where was that? But seriously, PC is not about bullies. It is about changing the normal behavior of non-bigots. They seek to change curriculum, to ban the discussion of certain ideas, to prevent any perceived slight or micro aggression. Take the example of Huckleberry Finn. This cannot be discussed anymore because two of the characters are named n***** Jim and Injun Joe. Any black kid or Native American kid in the classroom might be offended or feel marginalized. Do you agree with this? This is not a case of bullying, but a case of seeking not to offend.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2017 3:28 pmI thought PC was mostly about treating each other with dignity. When I was in college in the late 1980s there was quite a bit of mean spirited behavior, pecking on minorities, gays or the handicapped. I took some online classes from a public university a couple years ago and they basically made the stipulation that we not insult one another and treat each other with dignity. I don't see much wrong with that. I didn't find it too difficult to abide by those rules.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2017 4:38 amWho's bullying who?Gary Childress wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2017 4:00 am
Agree with Skip on this. I think I rather ought to stick up for the bullied than for the bullies.
btw - I didn't star out the n***** in n***** Jim, this website did. So I guess everyone here is too much of a delicate flower to read such words.
