Today, I was selected to give my speech to the entire school. I was later told it had to be censored because it was inappropriate, even though I was just trying to make a point. My speech was on political correctness. My speech on political correctness was censored for political reasons. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to give a speech as part of my campaign for school captain. I was rather happy with it and so I told another candidate my speech. Apparently it was a good idea as minutes later that same candidate stole my entire speech, leaving me looking like a complete idiot. FML
Today, I was bitched out by my 17 year-old son's teacher. It seems the idiot teacher made the kids advocate for his own political beliefs in a presentation, and my son ended his speech saying, "And it remains my opinion that our instructor is cramping my motherfucking style." Instant suspension. FML
Today, I was met with a flurry of complaints after my “disgusting” speech during my child’s career day at school. I’m a labor and delivery nurse, and my use of words like “fetus, breast, cesarean, etc.” was too much for the kids. I never even mentioned sex or genitals, and they’re in the 6th grade. FML
Today, while giving speech in class, I choked on my own spit and had a coughing fit while everyone stared at me intently. When I finally regained my composure, my teacher told me my time was up and to sit down. I hadn't even got finished the first paragraph. FML
Today, I gave a presentation about how teachers don't intervene enough when students are being bullied. Afterwards, I was practically bullied by my teacher for "not choosing a serious topic." FML
Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML
Today, I was no longer being considered for the counselor position at a prestigious university because of a social media check. It wasn’t anything on my profile, it was comments I'd made on public posts, laced with profanity and insults towards other commenters. There goes my Christmas. FML
Today, I was once again berated by an idiotic parent. I’ve been called a filthy liberal, a groomer, and had my job threatened several times. All of this because I was teaching second graders about pronouns. You know, the part of English grammar that replaces a noun. Nothing political at all. FML
Today, we were having a school prize giving. I heard my name called and I walked up to the stage waving and smiling, feeling rather proud of myself. I stood by the microphone and started my acceptance speech, only to be tapped on the shoulder by the girl they'd actually called up. FML
Today, one of my classmates got bullied and the whole class got to wrote 2000 words about that. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's what school is like. Everything has to be the status quo, bland and acceptable. I know your pain as I was almost suspended for a film project I did.

Political correctness is a crock of shit in the first place, necessitated only by the fact that we allow a bunch of annoying crybabies to make a scene every time someone says something they don't like. It's one thing to be offended by blatant racism. It's another thing to throw a fit because someone isn't conforming to the hypersensitivity USA has gotten up its own ass with. Only the most pathetic individual could be offended by "Merry Christmas."

Political correctness is bullshit. If people would grow some f*ckin thicker skin or catch hell once in awhile, people wouldn't have to walk on eggshells all the blasted time!

I agree with #74 (zerogage). **** political correctness. Who cares if you offend someone else. People offend me all the time, but as soon as I'm to say something they disagree with, I'm a godless, faithless piece of shit. Well, I sort of am, but the only difference is I don't think it's a bad thing. Haha. I say, say what you need to and **** those who oppose.

mmm... maybe your clever speech wasn't as clever as you thought it was, and it came off as vulgar and too incendiary for your school to feel comfortable with. it happens, school isn't exactly the daily show. and you weren't censored for political reasons, are you kidding me? get over yourself and the school.

Since "political correctness" is right-wing code for "politeness to others which I am not bound to practice" or "not saying racist things" then my guess is that your speech ("just trying to make points") was..... rude and/or racist. And you probably need to double check it to understand why, but do that. Understanding is important. It's good for you. YDI

Political correctness is a piece of shit that needs to be shoved up some guys ass and sent to hell. Thank you for your time. Censored version: Political correctness is a bad bad thing that bad men use. Thank you for letting me talk at all.
