BREAKING: The Word Pork Has Officially Been Banned For THIS Sickening Reason It is no secret that the quest to be politically correct in the United States has gone overboard. In fact, were bordering on censorship. Now, its been revealed that the Oxford University Press has just banned childrens book authors from using any pig-related words including pork, sausage, and the like. Why? They dont want Muslim readers to be offended. Ive got a letter here that was sent out by OUP to an author doing something for young people, TV host Jim Naughtie told audiences. Among the things prohibited in the text that was commissioned by OUP was the following: Pigs plus sausages, or anything else which could be perceived as pork. If a respectable publisher, tied to an academic institution is saying youve got to write a book in which you cannot mention pigs because some people might be offended, its just ludicrous, he concluded. Thats absolute nonsense, Muslim Labour MP Mahmood agreed. And when people go too far, that brings the whole discussion into disrepute. OPU defended their decision, claiming that their editorial guidelines are intended to help ensure that the resources that we produce can be disseminated to the widest possible audience. What do you think of OPUs restrictions?
