The article & discussion bring to mind the wonderful short story: MUCH ADO ABOUT [CENSORED] by Connie Willis. (Also published as "Ado.") Here's a description from a patron review on amazon: "This delightful little gem launches itself at PC behavior and censorship taken to its extremes when a class decides to read Shakespeare. They keep running into snags: The Drapery Defense League objects to Hamlet because Polonius is stabbed while he's hiding behind a curtain. Or there's the protest of the National Coalition Against Contractions (who feel that the use of contractions is directly responsible for the increase in crime rates.)" And from another "Any library buffeted by the winds of censorship needs to include "Ado," a hilarious send-up in which the attempt to please everyone is carried to its logical extreme."  More description at: http://www.troynovant.com/Franson/Willis/Ado.html
The story appears in: 2041: Twelve Short Stories About the Future ed. by Jane Yolen
And in: "Impossible Things" and "The Winds of Marble Arch & other stories" both by Connie Willis.

Another story worth contemplating is "Harrison Bergemon" by Kurt Vonnegut - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron. Text is here:
