Hangman doodle banned

Examzone website headerIf you look above the arrow I've drawn, you'll see the bone of contention: a hangman doodle on an exam paper. English exam board Edexcel had designed this header for its A-level exam results website. Enter charity Papyrus, which complained that a hanging man was the wrong sort of message to give to students at a time of high stress. Exit hangman. Sounds like political correctness going OTT, but they may have a point. Failed students have been known to top themselves.
