This is just getting insane:

Top publisher bans mentions of pork or pigs in schoolbooks 'so as not to offend Muslims or Jews'

A quote from the article which I 100% agree with:
He added: "Now, if a respectable publisher tied to an academic institution is saying you've got to write a book in which you cannot mention pigs because some people might be offended, it's just ludicrous. It is just a joke."
 
Political correctness strikes again... :rolleyes:
