To Offend, or Not To Offend

Don't breathe too hard! You might offend those who have trouble breating! Don't run! You might offend those who can't run! Don't turn left! You might offend those who can't turn left! I'm sure there are lots of people who can't turn...(long pause)
I can't believe the stupid hairbrainedness of these officials. There is a single school district in Washington State that has banned all Halloween activities in the schools because it might "offend" the local Wiccan religion, or a group of Witches. Of course, you would have to cancel ALL school-related holiday functions, because there are many possibly offended people to contend with. Yeah, Christmas with Santa might offend those heavyset old men with white beards who live at the north pole and DON'T make toys and deliver them to all the children of the world on Christmas Eve. Not only are the parents in the school district very upset that their children are not allowed to celebrate a holiday in school, but even members of the Wiccan society think it is amusing, and not at all offensive. Honestly, people, all these P.C. pandering nutjobs need to get a grip on life. Maybe they should wait for an angry letter from those witches who actually ARE offended before they take away another tradition from the kids who don't know any better. Pretty soon we will all be brainless automatons who are not allowed to do anything at all on the possibility that it might offend someone somewhere. duh.
