It seems we have entered a new version of the 17th century witch hunts in New England. The country now finds it acceptable to persecute people for their beliefs, religion and political persuasion as well as looking in every corner for something that offends.
In a country gone mad, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are racist. Gender restrictions in bathrooms are sexist. Santa Claus saying "ho, ho, ho" is offensive to prostitutes. 'Manhole' is now 'maintenance hole.' In Seattle, Easter eggs are now 'spring spheres' in order to not offend anyone who doesn't celebrate Easter. A student at Sonoma State University was told to take off her cross because someone could be offended (I didn't know vampires were admitted to the State University system). Profiling in airport security areas is racist, so every grandma and grandpa is almost strip searched. The Obama administration has banned all government agencies' training materials from linking Islam with terrorism. An entire high school track team was disqualified because one of the students made a gesture thanking God after crossing the finish line.
