Political Correctness For Kids

"Back To School"*

*Little Benny was looking depressed, so his fourth grade
teacher, Miss Feldman, asked, "What's the problem,
Benny? I hope it's not homework again..."

"Well, uh, yes it is, mam" replied Little Benny. "I made
my homework paper into a paper airplane."

"Benny, that wasn't a very bright thing to do," Miss
Feldman said, "but this once, I'll let you just unfold
the paper and hand it in."

"Oh, but it's worse than that..." replied Little Benny,
looking even sadder. "You see, the plane was hijacked!"
