Political correctness (PC) has gone too far! I certainly understand and believe that we ought to be careful not to offend others by using any derogatory language or words. So there are number of PC words that I do agree with. However, there are some just too dumb (PC term is “cerebrally challenged”). Here are some samples of politically corrected words:
Bald – follicly challenged, blind – visually impaired, cheating– academic dishonesty, cowardly-challenge challenged,
However, it seems people are easily offended these days by even a word that is related to any religion.
In 2014, a woman (Neace) working for US Bank in Kentucky for over 20 years was fired for telling customers, “have a blessed day”. US Bank told her that she can’t say those words and when she didn’t comply with that “policy”, she was fired. “Have a blessed day” is related to Christianity… so people complained?
Does this mean that I can’t say, “Bless you!” when someone sneezes because it is related to Christianity? Well… I am not afraid of saying it and I will say it! I think it is one thing to be sensitive but it’s another thing to be absurd.
Have a wonderful… I mean “blessed” day!
