I am not a sheep, I have my own mind
I have had enough of being told what and how to think
Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech, I will speak out.
I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.

Modern Educayshun
A brilliant short film that satirises the modern education obsession with 'equality' and avoiding offence.
The video isn't far from the truth. A friend who is a Professor of Mathematics (I won't mention which University) was writing a case for some funds to research a particular aspect of mathematics (far too esoteric for me to understand) and he was told in all seriousness by colleagues that he would stand a better chance of getting it past the grants committee if he could include some references to sexual and racial equality, diversity and "the community". In Mathematics! Such is life these days.
