And that is exactly why PC Principal is featured on South Park. The pendulum has swung back to much into the red of political correctness.
Dawkins and Maher and Sam Harris and Salman Rushdie and all the other reasoned and reasonable people want us to question more, not less. Questioning this kids motives in light of his MSNBC statements on being seen as a "bomb maker" before this incident can't and shouldn't be ignored.

Agreed. I used to be pretty liberal and believe in being PC, but things have gotten way out of hand.

Then you, my friend, are exactly part of the problem, being any PC is like saying it's ok to have a little infection, but eventually it grows and spreads into what we are seeing now. PC is a refusal to confront and question rationally and use ones sense and brains when confronted with issues, it's a way to silence opposition and disagreeing points of view when they don't fit the PC's own, I hope you do see that it is a fallacy to have any PC. Being good to everyone is ok, being PC is like giving out Aid's, and unless you're Jared, you don't want to be known for that.

Yeah yeah Maher sure is anti-PC when it's a Muslim but let's hear what he has to say about Israel or the Jewish people. Oh wait, nothing? You mean he has an agenda full of bullshit to push just like everybody else? Oh good, I thought I was mistaken.
