Oh my, that's one of the most irrational things I've ever heard. Does this happen often?

More often than it should, that's for sure. Political correctness isn't rational, and when it's more important to be politically correct than actually correct, bad shit happens.

The funny thing is how "right-winged" the same colleges can act in other ways, such as UC Berkeley forbidding student organizations to use the words "California" or "Berkeley" in their names- as if the university owns the whole city and state. And Berkeley is pretty infamous as the most batshit crazy far left university in the country.

The site actualyl had a small number of cases, considerign the size of the US, and the large number of schools (which is a good thing honestly).

Realistically, political correctness is quite a good strategy if you want to make sure you get along fine with everyone. The problem with anti-PC people is that they don't want to accept any consequences for their actions. And I'm not talking about legal consequences (which should only exist in certain situations, and the motivation for such consequences should not be that the message is "offensive"), but the fact that private individuals who are offended by such language choose not to associate with them. Not to mention that they're hypocritical (upset if their views are insulted, but have no problem insulting others, and often present such insults as "religious expression").
