They want to eliminate all things "offensive" from the testing curriculum.. This comment was funny;

So What is the beef here? Do they honestly think there is any possibility the children being tested will evade these terms/phrases in the real world? You pad up a kid to climb a tree and he wont last when he is hired to climb rocks as an adult. This sissification of our schools is sickening. Expect more violence in the future as the "kids" didn't learn to deal with disagreement when they were growing up...

That would be the curriculum...

Look at all the good things they want to get rid of.
I have a few things that go with this:

That one is more true than most will ever know. If the fathers were allowed to be fathers this bs wouldn't happen as most are lest concerned with offending than truth...

What bothers me about the PC types is that they want to ban words and books and rational thought, but when pressed they say they are for academic freedoms and free speech and against censorship. When I was a schoolboy, I read Huckleberry Finn. Sure it had racially charged words. Look at when it was first published. Now the fool PC types want to either ban the book or censor it because of racial references deemed to be too horrid for young minds to comprehend. I also read "Doors of Perception" by Huxley when I was 15. They tried to ban that book also because it explored perception on a mescaline trip.

Censorship hurts all of us because it takes away our ability to form critical thoughts and thus possibly learn something of ourselves and others, learn about our society and it's perceptions. But after all, that's what the PC folks are all about, they really want to control what you think and feel because having people who think for themselves is a threat to their feeble minded view of reality and the world that surrounds them.

The PC nut jobs are a complete nuisance.

They've even gone so far as to try and get the word "brainstorming" censored because they claim its offensive to the mentally retarded.
