Southern Discomfort
San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors has passed a resolution banning comments that are deemed insensitive to people based on their race, religion, color, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, weight, height or place of birth, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
Board President Aaron Peskin says the move is not, however, an attack on free speech. San Francisco has always been a champion of that, he says. "We must make every possible effort to maintain basic decorum and integrity in our public forum," he says. "Failure to do so has the same chilling effect as stifling free speech."
Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier wants to go even further. She some kind of training for city commissioners so that they can identify inappropriate public comment and put a stop to it.
"This resolution is a good first step, but it can't be a last one," she said.

Well folks, it's finally here. Say hello to the Thought Police.
Good thing I don't live in SannyFranny. I'd be in trouble already for what I been calling this wench. But at least she wouldn't be allowed to call me an ignorant redneck hillbilly in return I suppose.
