Is it proper to say we are a nation now constrained to walk a hidebound political correctness path? Are there proud deviants in the face of any such trend? Is it politically correct to point out and parade any percieved incorrectness? You judge.

A friend sent a link to a George Will pontification on the issue, online here. Not to belittle Will's structured argument, which has weight to it; but there is this per a minutes-ago Google:

A pencil in your politically correct eye, from the Lil' Leprechaun? Proudly so?

Last, why not get the Wilfs involved in renaming the mountain? They'd bring in good money selling naming rights.

(One ancillary worry: Is "pontification" an incorrect usage, absent it being from the Pope?)
