Where does political correctness go to die? Why, Fort Wayne, of course:

The national debate over whether the NFL's Washington Redskins should change their nickname isn't resonating at Fort Wayne North Side High School, which has the same nickname.

A team effort

This still seems wrong to me:

East Allen County Schools board voted Tuesday night to allow homeschooled students to participate on the district's high school athletic teams.

No skin in the game

Thank goodness they've solved all the city's other problems in Washington, so the D.C. Council can concentrate on truly important stuff like this:
