A big problem with political correctness, wokeness — whatever the left’s latest censorship is being called — is that it doesn’t just apply to politics, these busybodies want to control every aspect of our lives. You can’t escape them anymore. The latest area they are making inroads into is travel and vacations. Now, articles you read about places you want to visit explore how positive the experience is based on what opportunities are available for the nonbinary, how well Critical Race Theory has been implemented in the area, and whether there are very many right wing laws.

Political correctness is the latest attempt by liberals to curb speech they don’t like—and we all know there’s a long list of things they find…problematic.

Lying is an exercise of power; every lie we allow to pass uncontested is a small victory for these cultural trolls. Time to troll them right back. Let’s start with the Texas clock kid lie. We all know that kid absolutely should have been confronted about his gadget, which would not have made it through a TSA checkpoint without a hundred government flunkies freaking out.

Janet Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona and Department of Homeland Security head, now the President the University of California system, has launched a new faculty training initiative. Part of the curriculum is a document titled "Recognizing Microaggressions and the Messages They Send." And it's worth some further evaluation.
