State: Bush blasts NCAA as FSU plans response
Topic: Current Events 9:40 am EDT, Aug 10, 2005

TALLAHASSEE - Controversy over the Florida State University mascot intensified Tuesday as Gov. Jeb Bush condemned a new NCAA policy and university officials planned to meet in emergency session to discuss their next move.

"How politically correct can we get?" Bush told reporters Tuesday morning before a meeting of the state Cabinet. "To me, the folks that make these decisions need to get out more often."

...

"Over the last four years, we've received a variety of complaints from fans, coaches, officials, student-athletes, Native Americans and non-Native Americans that mascots on a war path or the way they're dancing (for example) perpetuates a negative stereotype that marginalizes this group of people," said Charlotte Westerhaus, the NCAA's vice president for diversity and inclusion.

I am with Bush on this one. This country has gone overboard with the political correctness.
