The term "politically correct" is no longer P.C
Apparently, in a bold move to stop accusations of policing and banning language, the progressive left has decided to ban the use of the term "politically correct". Its now considered a micro aggression to use such a term and probably racist?
The world of campus speech codes has come full circle, with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) releasing a guide that makes the phrase “politically correct” politically incorrect.
The “Just Words” campaign, first noted by Campus Reform, is run by UWM’s Inclusive Excellence Center which says its purpose is to “raise awareness of microaggressions, their impact, [and] provide an insight into their meaning.” In line with that goal, the phrase “politically correct” (or “PC”) has been labeled a microaggression that students should avoid using.
“Over time PC has become a way to deflect, say that people are being too ‘sensitive,’ and police language,” a poster created by the Inclusive Excellence Center says. “It is disconnected from authentic understanding of impact.”
The Just Words campaign is focused on informing students, primarily via passive means like posters, of the microaggressions that pervade everyday life so they can avoid using them.
