I think it started as an attempt to right societal wrongs. That lasted about 5 minutes and everything after that, pure crapola.
This!!!!! Like so much else in our society it has been taken to extremes.

Political correctness is just another form of censorship; that's why Ray Bradbury warned us about it before it even had a name. Or did you not realize that's the real subject of Fahrenheit 451?

I agree. Great thought on tagging the movie. Saw it way too many years ago but it stuck with me as some I thought our freedoms would never allow. I'm not a racist, bigot or type of critical individual ,unless some douche insists on causing opinionated action to come his way. And I still don't verbalized my thoughts...because they are mine. A big issue is that folks that are determined to have criticism come their way know what they are doing, so they kinda deserve what they are asking folks to do/say. When they get what they ask for they act surprised!!?? Sad!
Actually, I meant the novel. I read it in high school in 10th grade English, but we somehow missed the actual meaning--it wasn't 'til I re-read it as an adult that I got his meaning. Of course, it wasn't difficult to understand then, because he'd laid it out in one of the appendices...
Good point. I was supposed to read it in high school to...kinda did the scan and BS for the report. Sad for me.
Not a fan of PC.
The strange thing is, there can't be but 2,000 people in America that believe in PC ways. But for some reason, every one of them is in some position of authority over us.
I can remember an article from the 90's, written by a college professor, that was against Political Correctness. He stated that PC would stifle debate on campus. He was right to the Nth degree!
