Would you please consider using the word "respect" (or disrespect) instead of "politically correct"?

51. The name change would be

a courtesy that would be easy enough to comply with but the dictating of activities I would categorize as akin to trying to dictate whether jokes will be told within the comedic context of a stand-up comedy show. Jokes will be told about people but it is up to the participants to understand the context in which those jokes will be told. Furthermore, that is not an example of pure political correctness. There seems to be some excluding going on in the name of fairnesss. In other words, where one group's behavior is being sacrificed for the sake of another. Where this kind of diversion in accepted activies occurs it's important not to judge one or the other as wrong but to recognize both sides and propose something outside of the box. Both sides should understand that imposing too much of ones doctrines on another is not acceptable and in such cases where the differences are so great and/or clash it is not wrong or offensive to question whether other options for your child would be better if you really need that much control over their environment. I mean, if your problem is with diversity in activities at a school that advocates diversity, then you need to seriously ask yourself why your child is there.
