Is there anything that does not offend at least someone? I mean if the name Quakers at Franklin High School is offensive because it has a religious connotation, why aren't Protestants all in a tizzy about the Cardinals at Lincoln High School? Just think how the conservative GOP people must feel about the lack of representation to oppose the Jefferson High School Democrats.

And why aren't the pacifists and conscientious objectors trembling over those war-mongering Generals at Grant High and Rough Riders at Roosevelt High? Surely, there are technophobics who are fearful the Techmen from Benson High will overtake society with robots and artificial intelligence. Warriors at Cleveland High is obviously a reference to brave Native American fighters, or worse yet, a famous New York City gang.

And how do the Wilson High Trojans get away with advertising a popular condom brand? Oh, wait, high school kids would never make that connection.

I am offended by anyone who is offended by anything. Where does this idiocy end? Enough is enough, already.
