What do you consider to be an example of political correctness gone mad?

For example, one of my “favourite” (for want of a better word) examples of political correctness gone to far is that certain villages and towns on England no longer put up Christmas decorations in the street (even though they have done for centuries) in case it offends any people that don’t celebrate Christmas. When I heard this I asked a few of my friends who are of different cultures and religions how they, personally, felt when they saw Christmas decorations up and each one said that they didn’t care. They never gave it a second thought and they expected it seeing as they were in a country that, for the most part, celebrated Christmas.

Anyway, do you have any examples like this one that show how we have come so obsessed with political correctness.

Btw, I don’t choose to celebrate Christmas either, not for religious reasons or anything, I just find Christmas a very difficult time. However, I don’t get offended by seeing decorations in the street around that time of year
