This is Getting Old

I just received one of those "check it out, it's true" emails about a professor who wrote an email to a muslim student organization basically telling them that if they don't like America, they should go back to their own country. The student organization didn't like it, asked the University to reprimand the professor, the University declined. End of story. Never mind that this happened over 2 years ago. This is the internet age and there is no such thing as old news.

I didn't have any problem with the email until the very end where this guy adds his two cents by saying (and highlighting it in yellow) "We are in a war. This political correctness crap is getting old and killing us." He then encourages everyone to forward the email if they agree with him.

First, we are not at war with Muslims, nor have we ever been. Second, it is political incompetence and corruption that is getting our soldiers killed, not political correctness. This is nothing more than ignorance, blind hatred, and intolerance of others beliefs and cultures. And ignorance, hatred, and intolerance, not political correctness, frankly, is what is getting old.
