Of The Problems With Political Correctness

                    Freedom of speech is a hot topic on college campus.  That is because some people are trying to limit speech that may be offensive to some people.  For example, one speaker was not allowed to give a talk on a college campus on the differences in the type of intelligence amongst the races.  Also, conservative speakers are frequently told that they cannot give a talk at liberal college campus and it has became offensive to talk about the differences between the two sexes.  Research is being suppressed by political correctness.  Researchers risk losing funding or even their job if they research a topic that may be deemed offensive.  This limits intellectual development and stifles our understanding of the world.  Also, it limits the flow of ideas and hurts the ability of people to have civil discussions with people they disagree with.  Intellectuals need to be free to ask questions and explore different subjects.  Lack of research on the differences between the races will limit the medical fields understanding of how to develop medicine and treatment for people of different ethnicities.
                     In Philadelphia a number of teachers resigned due to excessive violence committed against them by their own students.  If the behavior is not properly punished early on then it can continue until adulthood.  This could lead to someone spending their life in prison rather than learning a different path early on.  Also, some students may freak out if things are too violent as we have seen with recent school shootings.  This is not to say that the high schools themselves are responsible for the school shootings.  Gangs can use students that they know are willing to commit violent actions to perform their dirty work.
                 I mentioned in my last blog that secular Calvinism can be found in political correctness.  The reason for lies in the ideology that all white people are racist.  It is arrogant to state that all white people are racist.  One would think that if someone were to make this statement especially in a TV series such as "Dear White People" then the person making that statement would not consider the possibility of being wrong.  People put too much emphasis on race.  Its a distraction from class and traditional western culture.
             Political correctness has been used to justify attacking traditional western culture especially in America.  Symbols of traditional western culture such as texts and monuments are being labeled symbols of racism and a patriarchal power structure.  These texts and monuments have a much deeper meaning and they do perpetuate any form of racism or patriarchal power structure.  The political class is trying to separate people from those texts and monuments.  This results in people being uprooted from traditional western culture and be grounded in something that would allow them to be easily manipulated.  I've said this many times, we have to own the culture in our daily lives.  That means listening to classical music, reading old literature, appreciating art, and understanding the rich history of our culture.  Also, it means treating people with more respect and conducting ourselves with dignity.
