Political Correctness Run Amuck

March 15th 2007 by cybertoad in commentary, gripes

Seen on a bumper sticker this morning…

{insert name of school} Elementary…
…where all our students are honor roll students.

OK, this is too much. How much protecting do our children need? Life sucks, some kids are smarter than others, deal with it. We aren’t doing them any favors with this type of hand-holding and the kids need protecting in much more important aspects of their lives, their lives at home. Be a good parent, be fair, be there for them, monitor and be aware of what they do, who they see, what they see and give them the attention the deserve. In short, be a parent, not a best friend. This type of crap in school, where honor rolls have been taken down so as to not offend any one, is getting ludicrous. How will they ever learn what it means to truly achieve and feel good about it when it is all brought down to the level of mediocrity?

    Right on, right on, right on! That statement is funny enough because it makes absolutely no sense, but what I think is even funnier is that some parent actually stuck it on their bumper.

    What’s the difference in saying “Where all our students are Special Ed”?
