A little less freedom of speech

[PCM]

I thought this column by Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby related well to the Sioux name topic.

PC gained rapid momentum 20 years ago & we're still in its death-grip.

People thought it was funny at first with its new terms like "sanitation engineer" instead of garbage man, "developmentally disabled" instead of mentally retarded, "undocumented" instead of illegal & other quaint euphemisms that either alter or completely substitute new meanings for old. Ha ha giggle giggle. Words are thoughts/ideas & when professors in their ivory towers & leftist-media elites dictate what is & isn't appropriate for the majority of us I'm pi$$ed & so should others be.

Regarding those students in Omaha: If any of you have children in the public school system, I would highly recommend you keep tabs on what they're being taught.

A radical restructuring of our free system of government is being propagated in our schools under the guise of the new Civics. It isn't patriotism, it isn't traditional history and it isn't freedom. The federal government has invested heavily in teaching that which is undermining our heritage of freedom to the world, whether they know it or not. Pay close attention. Don't fall for the nice- sounding propaganda.

Thanks, Pat.

Good to have you back again, SFiP. I missed you. Well, actually, I missed your avatar.

Nice to be back. Been a little preoccupied with defending my home against illegal aliens, door-2-door salesmen & extraterrestrials:

.....but that's under control now so I can focus my attention on Sioux hockey

Thanks for missing my avatar--my wife sure didn't!

Also mastered myin prep for your weekly Wednesday recaps.
