This is not about the word Redskin being offensive its about control.
An attack on the first amendment freedom of speech.
As I always say show me a liberal and I'll scratch you out
A fascist.

They were talking about this yesterday on the local talk show here. I guess our government has nothing better to do, or more important issues to focus on like our economy being in the s****er, the growing illegal immigration issue, and the further erosion of our middle class in our race to the bottom.

The problem is this.......

From your other link.

Bob Kenny, the school's interim president, is quoted on the website as saying the graduates' selection of Abu-Jamal reflects "their freedom to engage and think radically and critically in a world that often sets up barriers to do just that."

Jailed Cop Killer Is Picked as Graduation Speaker - ABC News

Seems many only want what they want heard, heard. Those who claim that barriers are wrong also set up barriers and those who complain about those actions are often times willing to complain about words they also do not like.

That's liberals. If they get a thought in their head, any thought at all, they petition government to force their thought on everyone else, and make it illegal for contrary opinions of that thought to exist.

John Banzaff III needs to shut his big, fat, obscene mouth, be fired from his job as a professor (Ph D = piled high and deeper), and sent to work on a pig farm where he can commune with his constituents (oink!).

I say they should start small and work their way up.

First, the government should go to the Navajo reservation where Red Mesa High School is located and tell those American Indians that they aren't allowed to call their team's mascot the Redskins. The government can just inform the Navajo people they are too primitive to have the ability to process the fact that they should be mad at themselves for being racist against themselves.

Speaking about the White House, I wonder when the PC Nazis are going to start saying "Executive Mansion" instead.
