Political correctness run amok

Apparently it is now racist for a professor to correct students' poor grammar and spelling. It creates a "hostile" environment.

This is what happens when the elementary and secondary school teachers whose job it is to TEACH spelling and grammar don't do so, and just pass under-performing students along to the next level to get rid of them. The students get the idea that they are entitled (there's that word again) to passing grades for unsatisfactory work, so they view any correction as a racist attack.

I hope the professor is tenured.

God help us as more and more of these morons actually walk away with Masters and PhDs and are hired (all too often in government) through EEO programs.

Too right?  Too white!  Don' be dissin' the lingo!

There are powerful forces among many minorities demanding that no one be too white in their ways.  It should come as no surprise that that drive within the minority community be turned into a racist bludgeon.

For a time, I had a friendship building with a fresh-off-the-boat Nigerian.  The man speaks gorgeous English, wielding the language with far greater skill than most Americans.  One day his sixteen year old son turned up.  Kiddo spoke as well as his father.  After the young man departed, I complemented the father on his son's English.  Dad thanked me but added I should hear the kid when he is among his American black friends, saying the peer pressure to eschew proper English is huge and I would scarcely recognize his son.  Dad's last comment, with a big sigh and audible pain was, "They are turning my son into a *let's not go there*."
