One of the spinners in Whitnel Cotton Mill. She was 51 inches high. Has been in the mill one year. Sometimes works at night. Runs 4 sides - 48 cents a day. When asked how old she was, she hesitated, then said, "I don't remember," then added confidentially, "I'm not old enough to work, but do just the same."

Politically Correct Another urban myth of our times is that the concept of politically correct was invented in the 1990s by conservatives who wished to lambaste liberals.

The term again became popular in the early 1990s as part of a conservative challenge to curriculum and teaching methods on college campuses in the United States (D'Souza 1991; Berman 1992; Schultz 1993; Messer Davidow 1993, 1994; Scatamburlo 1998). Conservatives picked up and once again transformed the notion of political correctness to claim that a left-wing movement based in liberal academic circles was attempting to create a new doctrinaire political orthodoxy through social engineering which included changing words and phrases that some groups found offensive.

[Politicaly correct] Gradually entered the language beginning with the feminist and other left-wing movements of the 1970s. Used (first?) in H. V. Morton's In the Steps of St. Paul (1936). 'To use such words would have been equivalent to calling his audience 'slaves and robbers'. But 'Galatians', a term that was politically correct, embraced everyone under Roman rule...'.

Ever since I can remember my Dad's been saying "The world is going to hell in a handbasket" and I think this is a good example of what he meant.

I will keep ya updated. I actually just did a search to see if there were any more cases like his and that's how I found this site. It's nice to know I am not the only one these schools are taking advantage of.
