Exclamation Textbook Political Correctness

I just saw a brief report on Fox News about how some stupid Californian liberals are making textbooks politically correct.
For example:
-senior citizens = use "older people" instead
-founding fathers = can't use because it's sexist
-Mount Rushmore = offensive to Indians - can't mention it
-snowman - use "snow person" instead
-Coke and hotdogs = can't mention because they are considered junk food
-I don't even want to know what they are censoring about the Civil War! Perhaps that it never happened? I wouldn't be surprised.

There was some other crap too. I couldn't find the report on Fox News .com. Does anybody else have any info on this STUPID assault on history?

Here is the way I look at it:

If some senior citizens have a problem with the founding fathers partying and talking about how someone Mounted Rushmore’s Snowman while they all sat around drinking Coke and eating hotdogs then down the line people began to try and divide the country which resulted into a Civil War and now want to pretend it didn’t happen WILL witness another Civil War this time against the Stupid Moron Liberal’s… Hope they are watching their @ss…

01,

One of these days I wish you'd stop beating around the bush and come out and say what you mean! I'm tired of trying to figure out how you really feel.

Oh, BTW, I didn't mean to say beating, I meant to say scurrying, and I certainly didn't mean to say bush, I meant shrub....(or maybe slightly conservative) There, now that's politically correct, but not near as clear.

Ahhhhh the “clubbing baby seals”

That’s a double whammy to **** the liberals nut case’s off

PETA & Treehuggers.

Treehuggers because you have to KILL a tree to make the nice wooden BAT for clubbing…

Kind of gives new meaning to "Let's go clubbing tonight"

These are probably the same people whos kids walk around school wearing sponge bob square pants tee shirts. Who have also never seen a Pg-13 movie, because it is forbidden. Heaven forbid that. That might be ok if the kids i know weren't a month from graduating high school. I have been out of high school for eleven months and i have learned only one thing. Things are alot rougher than I expected. Money don't come easy. Thank god my parents weren't like that.
