[Police were called to a New Jersey school after a student accused another student of racism for calling brownies brownies. In defense of the police no one was arrested] Brownies are sweet, tasty and brown, but New Jersey’s schools hear this with a frown. Color’s off color, don’t you know-- mention it, and the Thought Police will have you in tow. Blondies are sweet and a bit greasy-- a tasty snack, not a girl who’s easy. But better call them cake, or you’ll be dissed as someone who is completely sex-ist. Anything you say can and will be held against you-- mot just by the cops, but by those you thought you knew. It’s the days of Stalin, or “1984” from Orwell; better watch what you say; they might be listening in the stairwell. Once we all worshipped the First Amendment. Now "politically correct" has gone beyond heavy-handed. Use only approved phrases, or outcast will be your fate-- Political Correctness destroyed a country once great.

"Brownies" are Racist? The STASI in New Jersey
