By now you have probably heard about the school in the Cincinnati area that canceled a production of “And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie. It looks like the show will go on, after all. I’m glad that sanity was restored. Here is a sampling of information and thoughts about it:
Cincinatti’s Enquirer article about the cancellation
Cincinatti’s Equirer article about the reinstatement
Announcement of the Reinstatement by Lakota School District
Pat Dollard’s Comments with a Fox News video
I think that Political Correctness has gone way, way overboard when a school cancels a play, days before the curtain goes up, because one person complains about a word in the original title of it. If Mr. Hines gets to put the breaks on a play because he doesn’t like it, then how could the school ever perform any play? Surely every play has something in it that somebody would object to.

I’m very glad to hear it. But it sounds like the superintendent is more concerned about public opinion than anything else.

Pauline, I agree. It’s good news but maybe for the wrong reason.

Public opinion and political correctness go together. First, political correctness gets everyone frightened of saying something that is politically incorrect, so everyone keeps their mouths shut, and then political correctness claims silence is public opinion.
