Political Correctness Is So Gay
Posted by Dave Blount at March 1, 2007 7:43 PM
It's not as if kids aren't learning anything in our schools. One thing they learn, which is very necessary to know in our society, is that there are people you can ridicule to your heart's content, and other people you may not affront in any way, even by accident.
In Santa Rosa, California, Rebeka Rice's classmates were exercising their politically correct right to ridicule her for being a Mormon by asking, "Do you have 10 moms?" when the high school freshman made the mistake of responding with the generic expression of dismissal, "That's so gay." Few Americans are unaware that this very common idiom means something along the lines of "That's ridiculous."
But Rebeka soon found herself in the principal's office for supposedly insulting homosexuals, who are so sacred to the sort of moonbats running our schools that to say anything they might not like is regarded as blasphemy. Though she got off with a warning and a notation in her file, her parents were so disgusted they took the matter to court.
Intoned the school district's lawyer:
The district has a statutory duty to protect gay students from harassment. In furtherance of this goal, prohibition of the phrase "That's so gay" … was a reasonable regulation.
As any reasonable school kid would respond, that is so gay.
On tips from Bill V. and Wiggins.
