PC is right out of the Nazi and Marxist playbook. It was NEVER about "freedom." Period.
It is a lie - straight from the Father of Lies.

Few terms are as divisive in today's United States as "political correctness." A concept that was intended to create greater freedom in the country may instead have resulted in the opposite. It also helped strengthen the right wing.
It's a Friday afternoon in Oberlin, Ohio, around one month before the country heads to the polls to elect Donald Trump as its next president. The final classes and lectures of the week have just ended, and a young woman comes walking by in bare feet with a hula hoop gyrating around her waist while others are performing what seems to be a rhythmic dance to the African music that's playing. Two black students are rapping.
It's the kind of scene that could easily play out on a beach full of backpack tourists, but this is unfolding at one of the country's most expensive universities.
Many female students here have dyed their hair green or blue, they have piercings and their fashion sense seems inspired by "Girls" creator and millennial star Lena Dunham, who, of course, also studied here.
In such a setting, it seems almost inconceivable that this country could go on to elect Donald Trump as its president only a few weeks later. Yet pro-Trump country is just a few miles away. Oberlin is located in Ohio, one of the swing states that made Trump's election possible. Drive five miles down College Road toward town, and you start seeing blue "Trump Pence 2016" signs on people's lawns.
Places like Oberlin are the breeding grounds of the leftist elite Trump's people spoke so disparagingly of during the election campaign.
Only a few months earlier, a handful of students claimed they had been traumatized after someone used chalk to scrawl "Trump 2016" on the walls of buildings and on sidewalks at Oberlin and at other liberal

PC IS DEAD TO ME
Thank You Donald Trump!
who considers it divisive?
its dead on accurate.

A photo from the article.
The black women who are converting to "black Islam" are the worst. There are more and more of them. Hateful. Agressive. Prideful. And selling their souls to Satan because they think it is a big "FU" to "white culture."
Good luck with that in Hell.
I’ve watched it before. It’s hilarious how these nutcase college students have no knowledge as to how to handle Milo,Cristina and Steven. All they can do is try to shout them down.
Exactly. The college kids are annoying, but someone who was involved in the “Free Speech Movement,” but is now against free speech because she has the power to punish it is the real enemy.
Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. I misunderstand a lot.
If these people had their way, we would all be in reeducation camps.
I’m not boarding that bus, and I doubt most FReepers would, either.
Beyond that, see the Solzhenitsyn quote towards the top of my FR profile page.
Since 1965 everything has gone off the rails! What used to be up is now down; black is white. Laws apply only to the common man but not to politicians. Illegal aliens are not lawbreakers but undocumented persons. A husband can now be female; wife can be male. Dope usage is common and promoted by the Hollywood elite. Governments are participating in the promotion of marijuana usage purely to collect the taxes. The numbers racket used to be illegal now it is sponsored and promoted by the government. Free speech for a white citizen is different than it is for a black citizen. Just to mention a few things that are off the rails, I could continue. It is NOT the same America that I grew up in.
"Two years ago, Copeland asked a young student who was editing a video during rehearsals for a stage production if she would manage to finish editing the footage by the end of the week. He didn't get the immediate response and things were hectic. "Yes or no?" he called out in his exalted way. "Yes or no?""
On the "Snowflake" Oberlin Campus, that led to a "Title IX investigation for sexual misconduct." against the professor.
What does that stupid snowflake think will happen IF she gets a job in the real world -- and her boss asks for a forecast on completion of her work -- and she "retreats into her safe space", and refuses to answer?
Another "Title IX investigation for sexual misconduct."?
No! She will find her tender little lezzie snowflake @$$ out on the street, before her yoga pants can catch up with her butt!
If I were a parent, paying for some expensive, "prestigious" university to prepare my offspring for the real world --and, found stuff like this going on, I would not only yank my child out of that hellhole, but would have my attorney demand a full refund of any tuition I had paid.

Dismay at the the whole "Precious SJW Snowflake" abomination prompted me to create this, several months ago:
A whole lot of "Precious Little SJW Snowflakes" are going to have stunning awakenings -- the first time they seek (and, possibly, get) their first job in the real world -- where money is earned...
Well, I can only say that I think AS is being somewhat unfair to the victims in that case, as he describes it. But one might still take a lesson from it.
How much of this is rooted in feminism? Do these responses to real world experiences sound like hysteria? Check out this website tracing the history of the term, indicating that it is Greek for “uterus”: http://academic.mu.edu/meissnerd/hysteria.html
What is interesting is that being a woman, I can easily attest to the fact that sometimes, my emotions get away with me. But I recognize it and do not act on those overwrought emotions.
A great deal of what we are seeing in the deterioration of modern society looks to me like women’s emotional tendencies are being given equal footing with or taking precedence over actual rational thought.
Add to this the insistence of feminists that the difference between the sexes is merely a “social construct”, they actually believe that men respond to circumstances the same way that they do but just won’t admit it. You see, society has conditioned them to “suppress” their emotions and they need to find and express their “feminine” side.
What we have is the complete “infantilization” of society. Now, “infantilization” is a term used by feminists to describe what women think sexists do to them when they don’t take their hysterics seriously, i.e., treating them like children. But they are the ones infantilizing everyone by insisting that no one has the ability to deal with setbacks, criticism or anything short of unicorns and rainbows.
How can I take someone seriously when they engage in temper tantrums when they don’t get their way? In computer programming, we call this an infinite loop. It runs endlessly and will eventually fry your computer. Let’s not let this happen to our civilization.
All I can say is, God Bless Donald Trump! This insanity, or should I say hysteria, must end.
I liked your stupid juvenile whiners meme you made.
utter bs.
political correctness was devised by the nazis as a political tool meant to control those its aimed at.
it was NEVER meant to create more freedom... but more govt control
When my drilling rig caught on fire in Nigeria I needed a safe space. Did not have one.
When my drilling rig sank in a storm in Venezuela I needed a safe space. Did not have one.
When my rig almost capsized in the North Sea I needed a safe space. Did not have one.
When I was inadvertently caught up in a communist riot in Tehran in 1960 I needed a safe space. I found one on the floor of a taxi cab. The driver probably saved my life. I was only 13 years old. I was very scared.
When my friend Charles McMahan was killed in Vietnam he needed a safe space. He did not have one. He died.
These putrid little sissified pansies on the Universities need to grow up. Life will kick you in the ass if you do not. I will probably be the one kicking them in the ass.
Thumbs up to your post!
He should sue Greece for reparations! Traumatized by his own ancestors!!! /s;)
Yes, I think he would lose bowel control if he read about the Peloponnesian War
