In another recent instance of denial through labels, an administrator, discussing the "PC hegemony," reportedly complained that some colleges were treating acquaintance rape like it was a serious problem, actually forcing students to attend a meeting to discuss the issue.
Rape. A serious problem. Imagine that.
IN THE HANDS of conservative critics, the epithet "PC" becomes an eraser, making liberal ideas nothing more than knee-jerk euphemisms and real-life problems nothing more than fictions.
This eraser effect leaves space only for the world as conservative students wish it to be. This PC Scare stifles debate in its search for a monolithic community.
McCarthy would be proud.
Not the liberals who dare to address issues of discrimination in our society...
...but the reactionaries who dismiss liberal causes as "PC totalitarianism."
