PC Is actually quite ridiculous now:

Baa Baa RAINBOW Sheep has now to be said
Blackboards are now to be called Chalkboards. As it may offend black people. But White boards are allowed to be called White boards?!
On questionnaires there is no longer going to be an option stating 'White British'. I cant remember what the new option is something like European or something..
Campaigns are under way for school nativity plays to be banned, if not the name of 'Mary' should be banned as it is a religious name and offends some individuals!
Campaigns are under way for the term 'students' to be banned as it is patronising and doesnt help 'students' learn. They are campaigning for the students to be called 'learners'.
Campaigns are under way for the term Chairman, Postman etc to be banned as this is sexist.
Teachers are to be told they arent allowed to say Brainstorming anymore. They should say 'thought showers'.
Gingerbread man is not to be said. You now have to say Gingerbread 'Person'!!
