Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

ShakespeareGotta say though, as a AS level student studying Hamlet, I'd agree with not teaching it until your 16/17. Not because of the themes you understand, but because it's too complex for people younger, especially if you're doing it because it's compulsory, not through your own choice.
Even at 14, Shakespeare was manageable for me but I didn't enjoy it.
