So Add This To The List Of Words You Can't Say

Hey, look, a story from my own high school! Times have changed at ol' Wayne Valley High School, and here's an example: A Muslim student overheard another student saying the word "Taliban." So the principal suspended the speaker, because the Muslim girl's "feelings were hurt." Even if he directly called her the Taliban, in the past, the principal would have said, look, kid, apologize and we'll call it even, and don't do that again. Today, it's a crisis. (Bergen Record)
