Leave it to the AP to keep on finding new ways to completely and totally embarrass itself. It would appear they would ‘recommend’ writers do away with the harmful label, ‘the’. So you know, there is no the there.

Anywho, their explanation for why they want this horrific label removed is that it is dehumanizing.
Or something.
Take a look for yourselves.

Just to be clear, instead of saying "The French" I should say "people with mental illness"?
