Political Correctness Gone Mad?

[Otta]

I don't think "brainstorming" is too w@nky, it's been around since primary school.

Mrs Otta was told they weren't to use it when she was doing her teacher training at Goldsmiths.

I only found two vague references.

one from the mirror says hundreds of schools are banning red ink http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2008/12/27/teachers-banned-from-using-red-ink-because-it-upsets-pupils-115875-20997583/

One from the beeb found one primary school that was doing so http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/2688623.stm

Can find nothing about crosses not being used.

ANd quite SJ, see also solutioneer, going forward and any use of bandwidth that doesn't pertain to electronic data provision.

Whenever I see it written down I think of barnstorming; bi-planes doing stunts and wing-walking etc.
