How do you write an executive order that stops “political correctness?”
Passing same-sex marriage was the ultimate victory for political correctness. Unless that’s overturned by a future court, political correctness will continue unabated. When you say the law cannot distinguish between men and women under any circumstances, political correctness becomes the law.
I would hope Trump would’ve appointed justices who would not have passed it. But the cat’s out of the bag now. I have no concept of what “stopping political correctness” looks like and how any President can achieve it. Trump’s been supportive of affirmative action as well, another huge form of political correctness.
With Trump as the presumptive nominee, the job of conservatives must be to push him to the right, like Bush had to be pushed on his Supreme Court nominees and some other issues.
I'll answer your question when you point out what executive order established/enacted political correctness in the first place. The "bully pulpit," of the POTUS can set the tone for much of what happens at lower levels of government and in society in general.
Long before Trump won his first primary, he already had people in the general populace speaking about immigration in terms they previously would have shied away from for fear of being labeled racist. Trump was not afraid to take the arrows, and came out stronger for having done so. A lot of people saw that, and took heart.
“How do you write an executive order that stops ‘political correctness?’”
By not funding universities that have speech codes
By requiring universities abolish inclusion officers
By abolishing race based admissions
By refusing to use PC terms
These areas would be a good start and all but the last would require governmental action
Executive orders are but a single tool and not even the best one. Lasting change can be done through Judicial appointments. Not just the SCOTUS, but federal Judgeships everywhere.
If conservative, common-sense judges are there to hear cases on “hate-speech” and faux discrimination suits, that would nullify some of the “political correctness” and victimhood culture out there. I like Judge Jeanine Pirro on FOX — a hundred like her in federal circuit courts would be a huge difference. AG Christie or Cruz would need to find ways to encourage retirements of liberal federal judges. I’m still ticked about liberal judges cancelling my vote on Prop 187 twenty years ago, which would have solved the illegal alien problem in CA and been a model for the country.
They can rule against these cases of gays suing because bakers and florists refuse to serve their weddings. Establish case law and precedents that nullify and ridicule this idea that people can be forced to serve other people. Reestablish the “right to refuse service to anyone”. Not for religious reasons (because the left has denigrated religion), but simply because slavery was outlawed over a century ago or that being forced to serve at a gay wedding constitutes sexual harassment.
Trump can also use the bully pulpit to expose college campuses that are not teaching but indoctrinating students in ideas that actively harm their future employability. Ridicule is a powerful tool, and encouraging students and parents to abandon those schools (as Mizzou enrollment is down 25%) will cause a reevaluation of those faculty and curricula. Awakened alumni councils and university Presidents can get those with tenure out of classrooms and fire those that can be fired.
Trump and a willing congress could do more — including disqualifying some courses of study from student loan eligibility and federal grants based on past failure of repayment of graduates in those degrees. We all talk about how kids graduating with “women’s studies”, “philosophy”, and “art” degrees can’t find a job, but some repayment statistics from graduates *by degree* could be devastating from the President’s bully pulpit. If students for those degrees dry up, the most liberal faculty will disappear. I forget where I read it recently, but it was well put: “College kids today seem to be majoring in ‘hobbies’ with no pragmatic value.” Those student loans are a bad gamble IMHO.
If Trump can really get the ball rolling on rebuilding our industrial base, students will see all the high-paying jobs are in real disciplines, anyway, and that will keep them out of the liberal lunatics’ classrooms.
Just a few ideas that I think are within the scope of what a President could affect in the realm of “political correctness”.

An executive order is not necessary. Ordinary speech day in day out that disparages PC will quickly catch on and maim the PC out of the language
You'll never find the answer until you understand the question.
