PC on Fox

Fox News has a great run down of PC rampaging. Link. Excerpts:

*As part of a class devoted to promoting "inclusive classrooms," McConnell wrote a paper saying: "I do not feel that multicultural education has a philosophical place or standing in an American classroom, especially one that I will teach. I also feel that corporal punishment has a place in the classroom and should be implemented when needed."

He got an A on the paper, but it was forwarded to the director of the graduate education program, Cathy Leogrande (search), who subsequently expelled him from the Master's program.

"I have grave concerns regarding the mismatch between your personal beliefs regarding teaching and learning and the Le Moyne College program goals," Leogrande said.

*Activists at Ithaca College in New York were upset about the student paper's lack of coverage of an anti-racism rally so they did the only sensible thing – they stole hundreds of copies of the paper and threw them away.

*An appeals court in Tennessee has ruled that PC busybodies can't renege on a 70-year-old agreement with the United Daughters of the Confederacy (search) and rename a residence hall at Vanderbilt University because its name now offends some people, according to the Tennessean. Vanderbilt tried to change the name of the 70-year-old "Confederate Memorial Hall" to ''Memorial Hall."
