PC Gone Wild [John Derbyshire] This 36-second video clip is going round the web. It's from a Fox News broadcast. In case you can't play it, here is my transcription. A single studio newscaster is reading the story into the camera. >>> Well, there is an urgent need for firefighters in the West to battle about two dozen major wildfires. The Denver channel dot-com [?] reports that many of the new recruits are Hispanics who speak only Spanish, and in Oregon that means that some of the supervisors who speak only English are being laid off or demoted, because in Oregon a crew boss is required to be able to speak the language of the firefighters, even if it's only one worker on a twenty-person crew. The state says the rule is necessary for safety reasons. So why not require the workers to speak English? The state has no clear answer on that.<<< [Me] Just when you think political correctness can't possibly get any crazier, it gets crazier. Is there any end to this lunacy? corner.nationalreview.com
