Way too PC

Well I'm not going to play fun word games with you this time because this is just downright annoying. (To understand that sentence please read at least the first paragraph of the blog below.) So for those of you who don't go to Lovett (on a side note: please leave a comment cause I would love to know if anyone other than Lovett students read this) being the Vice President of the student body I was in charge of reading the announcements during Monday morning assembly. Because they are usually boring I tried to spice it up with a little stand up routine (I should have known). So I basically make fun of the announcements. In my eyes the highlights were: no one doing summer reading, and the comment about private school. I figured those were a little on the edge and I might catch some flack for those if any at all, I seriously doubted anyone would bother to say anything because nothing was bad unto its self. So when Dr. Dunkle, the principle walks up to me, I am already getting annoyed because I know what is coming. So he starts up all political with the "that was a great assembly" bit. So he once he is through the rhetoric (BS) he says that he didn't like it, it got old, and then he lectured me on my comments about ... none other than ... golf? I'm sitting there with my mind racing trying to remember what I could have possibly said about golf. And all I can think of was that I said, "I've always wanted to go to a golf match." How in the world did that offend anyone? I really have always wanted to go to a golf match! So here is the ultimatum:

I agree with the whole tolerance thing at Lovett (get ready for some blogs about that) but only to this extent: I will tolerate everyone by making fun of everyone equally. I would like to point out that if we are trying to equip people for college we cannot shield them from a comment about golf. This obsession with political correctness is just creating a bubble for everyone at Lovett that will rock their world when it actually pops. We are tolerating ourselves to death and if I don't have enough freedom to read the announcements (or anything else), they might as well come out and say that they are going to limit free speech, which of course is their choice.
