Banned words

What started in the schools as correct speech is spreading to the general population. Teachers were slowly robbed of their first amendment rights where various subjects were considered off limits, things like religion and politics but on a regular basis new words are presented as off limits for the rest of the people. These are words that are considered hurtful to one group or another and list is growing. People are castigated for using these words. Years ago comedian George Carlin came out with his seven dirty words and that list has now expanded to hundreds, many of which are banned because they are gender specific. The public has quietly agreed to the censorship for fear of being called insensitive.
