Is this political correctness run amok?

[DanielC]

Nathaniel Forrest is probably not an example I would use as political correctness gone amok. Im pretty sure post Civil War he was prominent the establishment of the kkk. With that said ,I do think political correctness has gone amok to some extent.(not related to the civil war) When I'm im corrected for wishing someone a Merry Christmas in lieu of "happy holidays" or my kids can not have a halloween party but rather a "harvest festival" it seems silly. Of Irish descent im not offended by Notre Dames "fighting Irish". Laurie's thread regarding democracy is spot on!
