I feel like I'm reading The Onion when I read regular news now.
City workers in San Diego have been warned ahead of President's Day not to drop any F-bombs -- as in the phrase "Founding Fathers."
The traditional reference to America's patriotic patriarchs is considered gender biased, and a city manual banning the term was reinforced this week with verbal orders, according to legal watchdog group, Pacific Justice Institute.
City workers in San Diego barred from uttering 'biased' term 'Founding Fathers'

That's RACIST!!
...because there are dis-enfranchised youngsters who don't have a Father, so by mentioning the word, you are discriminating against them.
You know, what with your white privilege and all.

I don't know which pisses me off more: hypersensitive morons who avoid offending others at all cost or butthurt whiners who actively seek reasons to be offended.
From the article: "In a statement, city spokeswoman Katie Keach said workers are now free to characterize the framers of the Constitution in the traditional language.
“The ‘founding fathers’ reference was an example used in the correspondence manual, nothing more," she said. "This example has been removed."
More manufactured controversy.

This is what they do. The left tries to convince us the right is evil and stupid; the right tries to convince us the left is evil and stupid.
Ironically, they're both correct.
