Why it pays to check Technorati for links
If I hadn't I would have missed this.
Political correctness and classroom debate World O' Crap has a long, but very interesting dissection of a recent campus political correctness flair-up at UNC. I had to laugh. Maybe there are schools free of them, but my school definitely was infested with straight white Christian guys (and occasionally girls) who sat around waiting to be offended so they could bring all discourse to a halt by whining about their oppression. They claim that they don't get a voice, but usually the reason their strategy worked was because of the wicked liberal dedication to educational and democratic principles. They got a voice, but so did everyone else, and so the complaint was more about not getting to dominate discussion.
The down side is, now I have to read World O' Crap and Mouse Words, which means I have to do something or other more efficiently to make time for them.
