Political Correctness
Something that was probably a good idea at first and then got seriously over the top and banned things that didn't offend anybody in the first place. Eg - We can't say blackboard (but we can say whiteboard.) We can't sing Ba Ba Blacksheep (we sing Ba Ba Happy Sheep)
Teacher: Okay, Martin, come and write your name on the blackboard. Martin: Teacher, I am very offended by you the chalkboard a blackboard, even though it is actually a board that is black. Teacher: Sorry, Martin, I forgot my Political Correctness!
