It’s like living in an Onion parody of obsequious totalitarian dhimmitude. The words “pork” and “pig” are following the Confederate flag down the memory hole, lest they offend hostile savages:
To avoid the risk of potentially offending a Muslim somewhere, [Oxford University Press] has banned the use of the words “pig” and “pork” from children’s books as it might offend Islamic readers.
Oxford University Press is one of the largest publishers in the world.
Like Muslims, observant Jews don’t eat pork. Nobody ever suggested banning the very words “pork” and “pig” to appease Jews. But then, Jews don’t fly airliners full of innocent people into office buildings full of more innocent people, so there is no need to appease them, or reason for the liberals in charge to worship them.
DEATH TO ISLAM! 😡
The appeasement of these barbarians is disgusting. How in the hell can anyone not remember what these animals have done throughout history. Muslims are the enemy of all civilized people and nations.
It’s like the world has lost the plot.
I worked on a huge job for Scholastic where I was to photoshop out offensive imagery to Muslims for MUSLIM VERSIONS of existing Western books.
Now we’ve devolved to tempering and self-censoring from the git-go.
What the hell is going on????
Maybe they should print books like “My favorite goat sex toy” for the little Muslim children.
I see a war abrewin’ A scary aspect is that those ISIS guys are pretty lean. …..Lady in Red
If memory serves, Oxford Press (along with Cambridge) prints some very high quality King James Bibles, which contain many references to swine and other unclean animals. I wonder just how far their preemptive inoffensiveness will spread before England falls for good.

Sorry for the dup, script glitch on my end.
Who’d have thought that Porky Pig could ever be inflammatory. Or has he already been banned due to stuttering-offense?
The swine!
That’s, that’s’ that’s etc. etc. all folks! No more mention of pigs, swine, ham, pork etc. will be allowed in order not to offend muzzies. Except for NY teenagers who are reading The 3 Little Pigs in 10th grade as part of their reading assignment.
It’s not that far fetched to think they can pull off banning pork or porcine references from all of society. Our own gov’t has at times banned P, B & J’s from public schools because a small percentage of kids have nut allergies.
The old Muzzies have everyone scared poopless. Why not ban the word Oxford to boot and be done with it!
I missed mentioning bacon. And are the Canadians going to have to quit using the words Canadian bacon because it might imply that they endorse bacon? Call me pig headed but I hate PC of any kind.
What about Polish ham?
Re: pork. Would that be just the noun or the verb as well?
Re: pig. Would that be just the noun or the verb and adjective, too?
How else are ya gonna describe that middle-aged moslem woman when the wind blows her burqa off?
Da,da,,da,da da dats all folks.

I’m sure these Scuzlims would even be offended with this book.

If the effin rag heads don’t like pork, got the eff back to the shit hole sand pile they came from where there are no pigs. Ass holes. Time for the students at Oxford to have an all you can eat pork fest right there on campus. Pig wrestling for the dykes. Pig races all over campus. BBQ ribs, smoked ham, sausages, pulled pork. Serve on paper plates with mohamud pictures. Squirt the protesters with pig blood.
Ban Oxford University Press. Seriously,
if a cake baker MUST bake cakes for gheys,
why shouldn’t we bacon eaters shut these cowards down ?
Somebody, send them that I Want To Be Bacon book!
It’s called “cowardice.”
Yet you never see any video of an isis member fighting one on one with a non-muslim man of equal build. And I mean without a large group of jihadi goatfuckers standing around with AK47s.
They are weak cowards, only to be feared by the weak.
These fck’n sleeper jihadi muslims are offending me, and likely everybody else who doesn’t admire and worship a murdering pedophile maniac.
Majority rule should outweigh the demands of the infiltrating enemies.
This is actually from January, well the original DM article is. Does anyone know what has become of this? Is the ban still in place?
Nailed it unruly!
I’ve just been reading through their Code of Conduct 2015 and it states, as part of their social responsibilities: “We support universal human rights including equal employment rights, safe workplaces, freedom of speech and of association, and the rights of all to an education.”
Elsewhere it says in the same document that where a policy is inconsistent with local law, then local law will prevail (damn straight!). So this cannot be enforced in America without a big, ugly lawsuit.
Even though the UK has no constitution, and despite their idiotic speech laws in existence, it seems it would not hold up there, either.
I would love to know what their official response to that pushback was, though. Still lookin’.
Thanks.
