What in the nine hells....?
This just in:
San Diego State is following suit in political correctness with other universities across the country by dropping the word "foreign" from the general catalog's "Foreign Language Requirement."
Members of the Undergraduate Council, who drafted a rationale, in support of this initiative wrote: "The term 'foreign' has been used to designate something alien and is as ethnocentric and inappropriate as using 'oriental' to designate a person of Asian descent."
Okay, may I just take a moment to restrain myself from travelling over to San Deigo and giving the mother of all bitch slaps to this Undergraduate Council.
I mean, I already regarded political correctness as the most arrant load of stupidity I've seen in quite some time, but this really is taking the piss...
