Times have changed!

I know I'm aging myself when I talk about these things but school is SO different.  We have to be so concerned with being politically correct and making sure that we don't get sued that the smallest incident is completely blown out of proportion.    Some parents of a First Grader told me that the kids can't play "Star Wars" on the playground because it might offend someone.  OMG!  When I was in school, if we got in trouble and it was bad enough we were spanked with a board and I'm not making that up.  These days parents are judged severely if they spank their own children and that's an entirely different issue.    My son's friend gave him a toy then asked for it back and I said, "Don't be an Indian giver."  I immediately felt bad because I don't think it's "politically correct to say that anymore.  Honestly, I'm way OVER the high sensitivity and the constant political correctness.  The only people that worry about this stuff are probably the people that don't need to worry about it.  Do you think that someone who is prejudiced worries about hurting someone's feelings?  They might worry about what other people think about them, but I doubt it.  Most of the time, I would rather see everyone at face value rather than the pretentious need to be politically correct.  While, I am not condoning the return of spankings in school or other wise I am done with the over-reactions to every little thing.    Relax people--it's not that big of a deal.
