These two examples of Marxist political correctness make one wonder what is happening to our world.
BBC apologizes after 'black people in dark' comment
Oct 31 02:11 PM US/Eastern
The BBC apologized Wednesday after a top national radio presenter triggered protests by saying she could not see black people in the dark.
Radio 2 DJ Sarah Kennedy made the comment when, during a discussion about winter road conditions on her morning show, she explained how she had almost run over a pedestrian.
"You know what happened to me yesterday? It was this black guy. It's lucky he opened his mouth to yawn or do something and I saw him. He was wearing a black hat, black clothes and he was just invisible," she said.
Listeners used BBC message boards to voice anger at the remark. "This is just one in a long line of irresponsible remarks from Sarah Kennedy, but the BBC don't have a problem with her," one said.

Teachers' Muslim dress order
A SCHOOL was yesterday accused of MAKING teachers dress up as Asians for a day – to celebrate a Muslim festival.
Kids at the 257-pupil primary have also been told to don ethnic garb even though most are Christians.
The morning assembly will be open to all parents – but dads are BARRED from a women-only party in the afternoon because Muslim husbands object to wives mixing with other men.
Just two members of staff – a part-time teacher and a teaching assistant – are Muslim.
Embrace
Yesterday a relative of one of the 39 others said: “Staff have got to go along with it – or let’s face it, they would be branded racist.
“Who would put their job on the line? They have been told they have to embrace the day to show their diversity. But they are not all happy.”
