Strange Political Correctness For Kids ...

* Your bedroom isn't cluttered; it's "passage restrictive."
* Kids don't get in trouble anymore; they merely hit "social speed bumps."
* You're not late, you just have a "rescheduled arrival time."
* You're not having a bad hair day; you're suffering from "rebellious follicle syndrome."
* No one's tall anymore; they're "vertically enhanced."
* You're not shy; you're "conversationally selective."
* You don't talk a lot; you're just "abundantly verbal."
* It's not called gossip anymore; it's "speedy transmission of near-factual information."
* The food at the school cafeteria isn't awful; it's "digestively challenged."
* Your locker isn't overflowing with junk, it's just "closure prohibitive."
* You don't have detention, you're just one of the "exit delayed."
* These days, a student isn't lazy. He's "energetically disinclined."
* No one fails a class anymore, he's merely "passing impaired."
* Your homework isn't missing; it's just having an "out-of-notebook experience."
* You're not sleeping in class; you're "rationing consciousness."
* You don't have smelly gym socks; you have "odor retentive athletic footwear."
* You weren't passing notes in class; you were "participating in the discreet exchange of penned meditations."
* You're not being sent to the principal's office; you're "going on a mandatory field trip to the administrative building.

Re: Strange Political Correctness For Kids ...

I just went into my daughter's room which is "passage restrictive" and told her it was "closure prohibitive" (especially drawers & wardrobe) and guess what?
She became "abundantly verbal"!
