The American "Red" Cross

Dennis Prager is on fire about the Red Cross banning songs with the words "God" or "prayer" from their event in Orange County. His take is that they didn't really apologize--they just regretted that anyone found their decision offensive. It's not quite that bad. If you read their press release, they do admit that they made a "mistake in judgment," but the general tone is as Dennis said. They stand by whatever "principles" resulted in that judgment.

This is political correctness run utterly amok, and it seems to have appropriately ignited a firestorm when carried out by an organization called the American Red Cross.

As Dennis says, by their warped criteria, they can't say "American" and they can't say "Cross" because these terms are deemed potentially offensive.

That only leaves "Red."
