political correctness is actually a rightwing movement, you could compare it with the Hitler Youth.  Academics are all rightwing these days, if measured by true 'right-left' metrics - all universities support things like 'free' trade, 'austerity', and the 'war on terrorism', all massive rightwing scams and programs. It's not 'the left' trying to take over the world and shut down free speech and all that other bad stuff - it's 'the right'!!  http://tinyurl.com/h4h2kay
