Educating Yale …

… The BBC’s Answer to PC - WSJ. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

I tremble to think what the BBC would do with “All in the Family” videos. Torch them, probably. Nevertheless, the network has now decided to allow similar shows of its own to be purchased online, accompanied by warning labels proclaiming that each one is “an un-PC product of its time but remains a cherished piece of vintage comedy.” Note, by the way, that political correctness is a good thing in the BBC’s Orwellian lexicon. Even so, it is still deigning to let individual viewers choose (for now) what they want to watch in the privacy of their own homes.
None of my former colleagues at The Inquirer will be surprised at the side I've come down on in this matter.
