PC INTERPRETERS -TWO

I do have an earlier post : PC INTERPRETERS  which is why this post is titled 'PC Interpreters- two'.

The Old Girl and I disagree on the assertions I will make in this post as indeed will the old 'woke' schoolteacher down south who disagreed with my assertions in the aforesaid 'PC Interpreters' post.

I read today about some Hutt Valley secondary school students who have objected to the term 'Mufti' as it is used for a non-school uniform day and who have managed to extort cajole convince their 'woke' headmistress to change the day's name to BE YOURSELF DAY

See: HERE

The school has renamed its no uniform "mufti" day "be yourself day" after concerns the colloquial use of the Arabic word was culturally insensitive.

OK, good on the head girls for lobbying for this and showing some political and social awareness but, boo to the way this was done - non democratically where, because the head mistress and assistant headmaster were afraid of media backlash chose to go along with this rather than to give the whole school, the trustees and governing body the chance to debate it.

Further, to change the name, if it indeed needed to be changed, to a new age, touchy-feely, Californian-type mumbo jumbo piece of jargon like 'Be yourself day' reminds me of the simpering idiocy that Prince Harry is involved in with his new nonsensical job as 'Chief Impact Officer'!

PRINCE HARRY - CHIEF IMPACT OFFICER

WTF!

There are already too many non-jobs around like 'Influencer', 'Brand Champion', 'Customer Services Angel', 'VLOGGER', 'Human Resources Manager' and 'Priest' but this new one the CIO - Chief Impact Officer really takes the cake.
