A Great Example, Political Correctness Is About To Be Kicked In The Butt

From The Dallas Morning News:
The daughter of one of the Dallas police officers killed during the July 7 ambush was told she was no longer invited to hit an honorary serve at a volleyball game at Southern Methodist University "in light of recent events and diversity within the SMU community."
The university has since apologized and re-extended the invitation, but it did not explain why the invite was spiked in the first place.Heidi Smith shared the email she received from a university official Thursday night on Facebook. Her husband, 55-year-old Sgt. Michael Smith, was one of five officers killed by a lone gunman during an attack after a July protest. Nine other officers and two civilians were injured in the attack. 
"Victoria was scheduled to serve an honorary serve at the SMU volleyball game this Saturday to honor her Dad," Heidi Smith wrote in the post. "This is the email they sent me today to back out ... I had to read it to Victoria after dinner tonight." The email said there would no longer be an honorary first serve at Saturday's game against South Florida due to a communication breakdown and concerns about optics.
