How do you feel about certain words and phrases being banned from textbooks because they're not "PC"?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Depends on the words and phrases on a case by case basis. But yes, some should be banned or stay banned.

Everybody defines political correctness different. I define it as people just having some manners and common sense. To not discuss things publicly that may offend certain personality types or groups of people.

Those writing textbooks should especially strive to write content that is non-controversial and non-biased to specific beliefs.

Here's an entertaining list of most non-PC books published, and other politically incorrect information is on their site.
