Re "Bill to Ban Indian Mascots Is Blocked," May 29: At last, a voice of reason! The California Assembly soundly defeated the overreaching bill introduced by Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg, and rightly so. If ever there was an example of government poking into areas where it doesn't belong, this was it.
While I am no fan of most Republican rhetoric and actions, this time they are right. Political correctness has reached absurd heights in our society, and it is time to get on with important issues like the state deficit, urban transportation, health care, education, etc. It appears that some of the supporting organizations take themselves way too seriously! Hats off to the California legislators who put an end to this frivolous piece of nonsense.
