Today, I was selected to give my speech to the entire school. I was later told it had to be censored because it was inappropriate, even though I was just trying to make a point. My speech was on political correctness. My speech on political correctness was censored for political reasons. FML

That's what school is like. Everything has to be the status quo, bland and acceptable. I know your pain as I was almost suspended for a film project I did.

Political correctness is a crock of shit in the first place, necessitated only by the fact that we allow a bunch of annoying crybabies to make a scene every time someone says something they don't like. It's one thing to be offended by blatant racism. It's another thing to throw a fit because someone isn't conforming to the hypersensitivity USA has gotten up its own ass with. Only the most pathetic individual could be offended by "Merry Christmas."

Well, you could also mention in your speech (or at the end of your speech) that even your speech on PC had to be censored for political reasons...that would enforce your point even more! ;)

He's not the "first black president." He's half white.

It's a big deal because of the way this country treated blacks during certain parts of history, repressing them, and now one holds the presidential office

What #3 said. So long as they are making changes to your speech, you may as well, too.

No, it's not just because they're different. This election I'm voting for Obama, not because he's black, but because Romney is an idiot.

That's the thing with political correctness, there's so many things that hardly anyone knows all of them.

IRONY...but really what's the point of allowing a speech on political correctness if they're going to censor it for political reasons??? That's about as sensible as having a bonfire sans the fire...(-_-)
