California Teacher Deems Student’s American Flag Drawing “Offensive”

Only in California...

Wonder what you would find if you frisked a middle school art class in California’s Santa Rita School District?

Answer: The teacher told a student not to draw the American Flag because it was “offensive”

Really?… What politically correct laced crack was this California teacher smoking before she decided to teach an art class?

Don’t worry though, it gets better. Turns out, another student — in the same class – was praised for drawing a picture of President Obama.

In the end – according to this teacher – it’s offensive to draw our nation’s flag with the words “God Bless America,” but it’s okay to praise and worship the radical, far-left President Obama.

Obama Bans “Islamic Radicalism” & “Jihad” From National Security Documents

Wonder what you would find if you frisked President Obama’s changes to our National Security Strategy?

Answer: The terms “Islamic radicalism” and “Jihad” will no longer be used.

Hmm… Appeasement? Or just another liberal attempting to hump the leg of ‘political correctness’? Either way, President Obama has been on a roll this week! First, President Obama reversed 60 years of U.S. nuclear policy and pledged we would not retaliate with nuclear weapons. Now this nonsense…

FOX News reports:

President Barack Obama’s advisers will remove religious terms such as “Islamic extremism” from the central document outlining the U.S. national security strategy and will use the rewritten document to emphasize that the United States does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terror, counterterrorism officials said.

The change is a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventative war and currently states: “The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century.”

[...]

That shift away from terrorism has been building for a year, since Obama went to Cairo, Egypt, and promised a “new beginning” in the relationship between the United States and the Muslim world. The White House believes the previous administration based that relationship entirely on fighting terror and winning the war of ideas.

Just great… Symbolism over substance.

Atheist Group Protests Mother Teresa’s Commemorative Postal Stamp

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the atheist group known as Freedom from Religion Foundation?

Answer: They aren’t a fan of the new Mother Teresa postal stamp.

Haha, you have got to be kidding me! FOX News reports:

The Freedom from ReligionFoundation is urging its supporters to boycott the stamp — and also to engage in a letter-writing campaign to spread the word about what it calls the “darker side” of Mother Teresa.

The stamp — set to be released on Aug. 26, which would have been Mother Teresa’s 100th birthday — will recognize the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize winner for her humanitarian work, the Postal Service announced last month.

[...]

But Freedom from Religion Foundation spokeswoman Annie Laurie Gaylor says issuing the stamp runs against Postal Service regulations.

“There was criticism by the end of her life that she turned what was a tiny charity into an extremely wealthy charity that had the means to provide better care than it did,” Gaylor said. “…There’s this knee jerk response that everything she did was humanitarian, and I think many people would differ that what she was doing was to promote religion, and what she wanted to do was baptize people before they die, and that doesn’t have a secular purpose for a stamp.”

Talk about a political correctness battle. Here’s an idea atheists: Buy another kind of stamp!

Steven Crowder: Political Correctness And Identifying Terrorism

Terrorist! Where!?

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the political correctness of radical Islamist groups?

Answer: Steven Crowder finds out!

HAHA! What a great video. Steven Crowder brings up a number of good points relating back to political correctness and how our society is afraid to point out things for what they are. Thanks to a radical, liberal administration controlling Washington and the far-left media, we have a country full of Americans who are looked down upon for calling a terrorist a “terrorist” and a war on terrorism – you guessed it – a “war on terrorism.” It’s absolutely absurd! Just look at Google’s recent political correctness mishap that occurred over the weekend:

Apparently Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, and other religions are a lot of things, but what about Islam? I guess Google doesn’t have an opinion on that specific religion, or they’re simply hiding in the shadow of political correctness.

Props to Steven Crowder and PJ TV, because this video/subject definitely needed to be pointed out!

School Deemed Jesus On A Cross As ‘Too Violent’

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Taunton Public Schools?

Answer: Apparently, drawing Jesus on a cross is considered ‘too violent’ for school.

Ugh! I swear… If political correctness had physical features I would love to kick it sometimes. This is unbelievable:

An 8-year-old elementary school student from Taunton was sent home from school and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation after drawing a stick figure Jesus on a cross because the teacher thought it was too violent.

The second-grader made the drawing Dec. 2 after his teacher asked children to sketch something that reminded them of Christmas.

The teacher was alarmed because the boy drew Xs for Jesus’ eyes.

Honestly, what goes through one’s mind to actually view this drawing (displayed on the left in photo above) as ‘too violent’ for school!? Just use a little bit of common sense people… Is that too much to asked for? Ed Morrissey from Hot Air sums this one up quite nicely:

It’s hard to imagine a more clueless, knee-jerk response than the one given by this school.  First, Jesus on a crucifix has been a symbol of Christianity for two millenia.  Since Christmas is in fact a Christian holiday, at least nominally, the crucifix in this drawing clearly came from Christian symbolism and not some latent threat of a reenactment of the last scenes of Spartacus from a second grader. How dense or deliberately obtuse must a teacher and administrators be not to understand the symbolism involved in this drawing?

Agreed.

Side-Note: I feel bad for this kid, because I can relate. All through grade school I was known for being quite artistic. Back in second grade, I got in trouble with my teacher for drawing Carnage (a character from Spider-Man) and I was sent to the back of the room to look up the definition – haha. Also, in sixth grade I would draw whatever my classmates wanted and of course we all know what 11 year-olds like: blood, guts, and action figures – haha. Now your going to tell me Jesus on a cross is ‘too violent’? Honestly, I’m curious… Did this teacher live in a bubble all her life?
