PC Alert

Time for another attack on normalcy.

You have two elementary schools near each other. One school will dress up as Native Americans, then will visit the other school where those kids dress up as Pilgrims, and the two will sit down and celebrate how two groups can put aside differences and celebrate together. The schools rotate who dresses up as who.

A touching scene, right? Kids in kindergarten learning that people with differences can get along, right?

How about one parent complaining that dressing up as a Native American is a racist stereotype, and compares the reenactment of the first Thanksgiving to dressing kids up as Jews and friendly Nazis.

So of course, PC rears its ugly head and pushes common sense a little closer off the planet. It matters not that another parent, who is of Choctaw heritage, says her son loved making the costume and still wears the one he made last year, proud to show that he knows his heritage.

When are we going to hear about PC being shown for what it is, and someone standing up and saying enough?
