The Four Horsemen of the PC ApocalypseDate: 2015-10-07; view: 479. There are at least four areas in which the apparent internalization of PC has been particularly poisonous: education, immigration, law enforcement, and war. Education. Educational practice has long been a playground for PC's “experiments against reality,” with the ludicrous No Child Left Behind Act, legislating that all students must be above average, as the culmination of those experiments. Much energy has gone into a sissifaction of the schools—an effort to get boys behaving like girls. Fighting—a normal activity among small boys—is now considered an offense so horrible as to justify suspension and psychiatric intervention. Immigration. PC has rendered this topic, a matter of tremendous national importance needing serious discussion, well nigh unmentionable. Law enforcement.The fact, borne out by every statistical inquiry under the sun, that some racial groups are more inclined to criminality than others, is of course anathema to those who have internalized PC precepts. War. Many of us fear that PC has so emasculated our language and manners as to have rendered us incapable of any collective action against hostile nations. If you may not speak of the negative characteristics of other nations, cultures, sexes, or “orientations”, then why should we bother to defend our country? Would we even know how to do so by any method other than “using our words”?
