The "Argus" newspaper in Brighton, England, has a new twist on political censorhip. It has a readers' forum on which political matters are often discussed but the management obviously loathes the British National Party -- a party that opposes multiculturalism and wants all illegal immigrants sent back whence they came. Rather than ban all mention of the BNP on their site, however, they have set up a curious system where any mention of "BNP" gets automatically transformed into "Teddy Bears' Picnic"! See it here for yourself.
French Feminists Catch Up
Or at least they are trying:
"It's one of the first distinctions visitors to France learn to make: the title 'Mademoiselle' for young unmarried women, and 'Madame' for other women. But now a feminist group is trying to scrap the traditional French equivalent of the English 'Miss' - and is promoting an online petition for it to be outlawed, leaving only 'Madame' for all adult French women".

How awful for them to have to admit that the dreaded Anglo-Saxons are ahead of them!
Bars must Allow "Black" Clothing?
Clothing can be an eloquent form of self-expression, of course
Dress codes are widely used by bars and other places to keep out what they see as people likely to disrupt or lower the tone of their business. There are plenty of such codes in Australia and in 99% of cases it is whites that they exclude. And England, of course, is very heavy about such matters. I was myself once excluded from a bar in London because I was not wearing a jacket.
But in Athens, Georgia, such codes have come under fire as being "racist". Dress of a type commonly worn by undesirables is banned in Georgia bars, as such dress usually is, but because lots of blacks dress in the way concerned, the dress codes are being attacked. Why potential undesirables should be let in just because they are black is not spelled out. Details here.
Penn State Update
Penn State University recently banned an exhibition by a Jewish artist that depicted terrorism against Israel. But Penn State President Graham Spanier has now decided to allow the exhibit. My wicked guess is that word of the censorship reached a few of Penn State's wealthy donors, some of whom may just have been Jewish! What a laugh!
Incidentally, it seems that the Hillel organization was treated like a polecat in the matter too so they are seeking an apology now. They should get it. Antisemitism is stupid at any time but, coming from highly educated people who should know better, it is just disgusting.
