Political Correctness Gone Wild
To the editor:
Why have Americans gone head over heals for political correctness? Political correctness was created to prevent people from being offended. People were pressured to stop using words that could upset women, homosexuals, non-whites, the dumb, the unfortunate looking, the handicapped, and the obese. Political correctness is not going to stop people from being the way they are so stop trying to fix it, liberal America.
With today’s political correctness, the Obama administration are not calling the Muslum terrorist who killed thirteen soldiers and wounded fortyone in Fort Hood, Texas, a terrorist. Under the Obama administration, there are no terrorists or terror attacks. They are man made disasters. Political correctness has gone so far that at soccer games they don’t keep score any more. The kids keep score in their heads even though their parents don’t want them to keep score. Now the president doesn’t want us to keep score on the terrorist attacks that have happened in the United States, but the soldiers are keeping score in their heads.
Political correctness steps on freedom of choice and freedom of speech. We live in a nanny state. The country is trying to make everyone feel good. Well, we don’t need a nanny anymore. If someone hurts your feelings, grow up; grow a thicker skin. Be able to take an insult and go on with your life.
