The Voice Of One Crying Out In Suburbia

More PC idiocy...

On so many issues, Fox News is THE place to go to get news that the "mainstream" (i.e liberal) media suppresses. A couple of great items on Tongue Tied, a weekly listing of PC nonsense...

>>>Bad Company

The University of Iowa cancelled a non-conference baseball game with Bradley University (search) in Peoria, Ill., because the latter uses a mascot that Iowa administrators consider racist, reports the Daily Iowan.

The UI athletics department cancelled the game because Bradley's nickname is the Braves. The university has a policy not to schedule games with teams that have American Indian mascots.

Bradley got rid of its mascot in 1989 but retains the Braves nickname. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the only other school that won't schedule games against the school.

>>>Pilgrim Pride

The BBC reports that a statue showing St. James slicing the heads off Moorish invaders at a Spanish cathedral will be removed in order to avoid offending Muslim visitors.

Officials in Santiago de Compostela will move the statue to the museum and replace it with one depicting the calmer image of St. James "the Pilgrim," by the same 18th century artist.

Chief among the reasons for moving the statue is to avoid upsetting the "sensitivities of other ethnic groups." <<<

Uh, they were invading Spain. They were driven off. Spain stayed in the West and is a modern nation unlike the Muslim world. This is a good thing and the Moor getting beheaded probably had it coming!

Perhaps we should tear down the new World War II memorial, as we don't want to offend Germans and Japanese. So what if they started the war, the poor dears might be offended!
