PC PC Too Much
As a liberal, I tend to favour a bit of political correctness. I’m not a fan of native american charicatures on baseball jerseys. When we do send holiday cards, we send New Years cards rather than Christmas cards. But even I find some political correctness taken a tad too far at times.
While researching some software for my 4 year old (btw, recommendations welcomed) I came across Kid-Pix which is oft-recommended. I found it a bit odd that one of their bullet-point features was that it is Politically Correct. Huh. I wonder what that could mean? No peach-colors labeled ’skin tone’? No politically biased clip art? Well, apparently, it means that in the past, when you wanted to erase your art, the screen exploded. Which sounds cool. But, I guess parents began thinking terrorist were outside their window everytime a child started a new drawing, so now we have the more PC firehose eraser.
