Just Don't Say Christmas

Political Correctness is like a bacteria that enters your brain and destroys any remaining intelligent thoughts you may have.

To illustrate my point I give you this; a kid gets booted from a dance because he wore Santa suit:

A 12-year-old New Hampshire boy who wanted to jolly up his junior high dance by dressing in a Santa suit instead got a lesson in political correctness when his Scroogelike principal turned the student away, fearing he might offend his classmates.
``I go by the principal and he asked me what I was wearing. I said a Santa suit and he shakes his head,'' recalled Hampton Academy Junior High student Bryan Lafond.
To make matters worse, Principal Fred Muscara sent the preteen home from the holiday dance by himself to change into more secular attire. His mother spotted her son in the rearview mirror as she drove away.
``He was crying, he was upset,'' Leslie Lafond said. ``He did it all to be Santa, to make people smile and laugh. That's what Santa does.''
The sorry Santa saga started with a $30 suit the jovial youngster bought at a Brooks pharmacy to wear at one of his first school dances. Not once, Bryan said, did he think he would be offending anyone.


For crying out loud, what is going on with these people?

Meanwhile, over Ramblings' Journal, they've even gotten to this Theodore Geisel (AKA Dr. Seuss) classic. Will the madness never end?
