Compare. Seriously?

Part of Harrison's homework said to get a deck of cards and play compare with someone. I had no idea what that meant but found out last night. Dave played compare with Harrison while I was at yoga. Apparently, it has been played in school so he knew what to do and taught Dave. But the best part is...compare is actually WAR! Remember war? In case you've forgotten I'm attaching the Wikipedia description for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_(card_game). Since when did the name change to COMPARE? Seriously, can we not say war anymore?? I don't get it. I am so sick of all this PC nonsense. What do they call it where you live? I plan to tell him what the game is actually called. Maybe he can teach that to all of his classmates.
