Just What is (and what is wrong with) Political Correctness?

We have gone to the extremes with PC in the UK, some of the guidelines that people have came up with are just stoooopid.We are not supposed to call a blackboard a blackboard anymore, we are to call it a chalkboard.We do not start a new topic at school with a 'brainstorm', we have 'thought-showers' because brainstorm may offend kids with epilepsy or some other disorder.Perhaps the daftest thing we have in schools now is that we should not split classes into groups numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 anymore, or group A, group B, group C, because it suggests that group 1 or group A are somehow superior to the others. The way round this is to have a group 1, and a group A, and a group Alpha What a load of bull.Brian.
