When well intentioned people go to far, like the teachers union with respect to John A. MacDonald, or in both these scenarios at the TDSB and Massey College it is fuel for the fire that the efforts of political correctness have gone too far.

In my view, all three are examples of excesses.  In your view they may not be, which is, of course fine.

But, it is fuel for the fire and does draw some people to the right.  Maybe not as far as Trump, and I think Gee was using that as a euphemism, but the thought itself is right.

Society needs to move at a pace that pulls people along, not pushes them away.
