Beware the PC Police.
Cheney, Lynne V.
Executive Educator, v14 n1 p31-34 Jan 1992
Decries the prevalence of "racism,""sexual harassment," and "speciesism" labels applied to supposed violators of "political correctness" (PC). When freedom of speech on college campuses is held hostage to political correctness, K-12 education is bound to be affected. This new brand of McCarthyism cheapens the concept of discrimination and stifles open, honest debate. (MLH)
