19 Shocking Examples Of How Political Correctness Is Destroying America

By Michael Snyder, on August 13th, 2013

If you say the wrong thing in America today, you could be penalized, fired or even taken to court. Political correctness is running rampant, and it is absolutely destroying this nation. In his novel 1984, George Orwell imagined a future world where speech was greatly restricted. He called that the language that the totalitarian state in his novel created Newspeak, and it bears a striking resemblance to the political correctness that we see in America right now. According to Wikipedia , Newspeak is a reduced language created by the totalitarian state as a tool to limit free thought, and concepts that pose a threat to the regime such as freedom, self-expression, individuality, peace, etc. Any form of thought alternative to the partys construct is classified as thoughtcrime . Yes, people are not usually being hauled off to prison for what they are saying just yet, but we are heading down that path. Every single day, the mainstream media in the United States bombards us with subtle messages about what we should believe and what appropriate speech consists of. Most of the time, most Americans quietly fall in line with this unwritten speech code. In fact, most of the time we enforce this unwritten speech code among each other. Those that would dare to buck the system are finding out that the consequences can be rather severe. The following are 19 shocking examples of how political correctness is destroying America #1 The Missouri State Fair has permanently banned a rodeo clown from performing just because he wore an Obama mask, and now all of the other rodeo clowns are being required to take sensitivity training

But the state commission went further, saying it will require that before the Rodeo Cowboy Association can take part in any future state fair, they must provide evidence to the director of the Missouri State Fair that they have proof that all officials and subcontractors of the MRCA have successfully participated in sensitivity training.

#2 Government workers in Seattle have been told that they should no longer use the words citizen and brown bag because they are potentially offensive . #3 A Florida police officer recently lost his job for calling Trayvon Martin a thug on Facebook. #4 Climate change deniers are definitely not wanted at the U.S. Department of the Interior. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell was recently quoted as making the following statement: I hope there are no climate-change deniers in the Department of Interior. #5 A professor at Ball State University was recently banned from even mentioning the concept of intelligent design because it would supposedly violate the academic integrity of the course that he was teaching. #6 The mayor of Washington D.C. recently asked singer Donnie McClurkin not to attend his own concert because of his views on homosexuality. #7 U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer is calling on athletes marching in the opening ceremonies at the Winter Olympics in Sochi next year to embarrass Russian President Vladimir Putin by protesting for gay rights. #8 Chaplains in the U.S. military are being forced to perform gay marriages, even if it goes against their personal religious beliefs. The few chaplains that have refused to follow orders know that it means the end of their careers. #9 The governor of California has signed a bill into law which will allow transgendered students to use whatever bathrooms and gym facilities that they would like

Transgendered students in California will now have the right to use whichever bathrooms they prefer and join either the boys or girls sports teams, thanks to landmark legislation signed by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday. The law amends the states education code, and stipulates that each student will have access to facilities, sports teams, and programs that are consistent with his or her gender identity, rather than the students actual biological composition. A male student who self-identifies as female could therefore use the girls bathroom, even if he is anatomically male.

#10 In San Francisco, authorities have installed small plastic privacy screens on library computers so that perverts can continue to exercise their right to watch pornography at the library without children being directly exposed to it. #11 In America today, there are many groups that are absolutely obsessed with eradicating every mention of God out of the public sphere. For example, an elementary school in North Carolina ordered a little six-year-old girl to remove the word God from a poem that she wrote to honor her two grandfathers that had served in the Vietnam War. #12 A high school track team was disqualified earlier this year because one of the runners made a gesture thanking God once he had crossed the finish line. #13 Earlier this year, a Florida Atlantic University student that refused to stomp on the name of Jesus was banned from class. #14 A student at Sonoma State University was ordered to take off a cross that she was wearing because someone could be offended. #15 A teacher in New Jersey was fired for giving his own Bible to a student that did not own one. #16 Volunteer chaplains for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department have been banned from using the name of Jesus on government property. #17 According to a new Army manual, U.S. soldiers will now be instructed to avoid any criticism of pedophilia and to avoid criticizing anything related to Islam. The following is from a Judicial Watch article

The draft leaked to the newspaper offers a list of taboo conversation topics that soldiers should avoid, including making derogatory comments about the Taliban, advocating womens rights, any criticism of pedophilia, directing any criticism towards Afghans, mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct or anything related to Islam.

#18 The Obama administration has banned all U.S. government agencies from producing any training materials that link Islam with terrorism. In fact, the FBI has gone back and purged references to Islam and terrorism from hundreds of old documents. #19 According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, it is illegal for employers to discriminate against criminals because it has a disproportionate impact on minorities.

It would be hard to overstate the power that all of this relentless thought training has on all of us. And young people are particularly susceptible to the power of suggestion. If you doubt this, just check out this video of a little boy praying to Barack Obama as if he was a deity

It would be a huge mistake to underestimate the power of the mainstream media in America today. As I mentioned the other day, Americans watch an average of about 153 hours of television a month. When Americans go to work or go to school, the conversations that they have with others are mostly based on content that the media feeds them. And about 90 percent of what we watch on television is controlled by just six gigantic corporations. But the media is not the only source that is telling us what to think. The truth is that the messaging that comes from all of our major institutions (the government, the media, the education system, etc.) is remarkably consistent. The establishment wants to control what we say and how we think, and they have a relentless propaganda machine that never stops working. The way that we all see the world has been greatly shaped by the thousands of hours of thought training that we have all received over the years. Understanding what is being done to us is the first step toward breaking free.

What I don't get is where all these transgendered kids have come from? Why is it getting so bad that a 5 year old boy thinks they are a girl, and their parents don't help them to be a boy (or vice versa)? Do these kids even have parents at home?

Even political correctness got your comment. You had to say "transgender". When I grew up in the 60's we had a term for that which we can NO longer say. We have also replaced the words "husband and wife" with "partner or partners" which is part of the Gay lexicon.

I don't think I know the other word, as I didn't grow up in the 60s and don't remember this even being a problem (amongst children) growing up in the 90s. I even rarely saw it on TV with adults, except RuPaul and that movie with Patrick Swayze. Now, it's like an epidemic!

Not odd since he was King. Monarchy didn't have the freedoms (in this case) that peasantry did. They could get a divorce but the church wouldn't recognize it. Henry's was an annulment.

Read any news article with the headline including 'Jews'/'Jewish'/'Judaism' and read the comments on the bottom of the page. The majority of the people are anti-Semitic. And I mean totally absolutely hateful, not just criticising. The same thing with Christians. There will come a day when Christians and Jews will be killed again, because there is just so much hatred towards them. History always repeats itself.

This "correctness" makes people crazy overall. Because often human individuality can not express natural reaction and/or thoughts. This is what makes people mentally sick.

The real crux of the matter is how controlling political correctness really is. Political correctness removes all individuality from a persons thoughts and actions. It requires you to speak and act as part of the collective. You are no longer an individual under the control of PC but rather human #1, human #2 etc, like robots. PC requires everyone to speak and behave in the same manner again as part of the collective. So in essence YOUR FREEDOM has been ROBBED like in the movie 1984. Make no mistake this has been the plan of TPTB all along for their one world govt, one world view. It wants to transform individuality for the better good of the collective. I'm always hauntingly reminded of that 1970's Coca Cola TV ad "We Need To Teach The World To Sing In Perfect Harmony". Yes Political Correctness had it's start as early as the 70's maybe earlier.

I simply say what I wish to when and where I elect to. I do not say things which are cruel or which are not true either. If someone says it offends them... I tell them their telling me about their offense issues now offends me and to shove it where the sun never shines. Never get any crap from those candy asses after that come back either ;-)

Great article. I think you nailed it. It's amazing to me how eagerly most people buy whatever the media tells them to buy. Unfortunately, the consequences of not buying it are severe for most people. Loss of friends, loss of job, loss of home - who can stand up to that? I expect it to just get worse, since there is no-one with the capability of resisting.

Thinking outside the box is a crime? It appears that way. The cronies use financial threats to fire people to do this. This is happening all over. I have been a strong advocate of not mandating direct deposit on anyone anywhere. Why? Well over the years I have seen a number of financial institutions go bankrupt. The mess of getting direct deposit changed is just not worth it. Especially if the line to the bank goes all around the block! What isn't commonly known is all the bills owed to the bank still go on. So you are dragged down with the bank! If one percent of what is reported about the Obama administration is true, he should have been impeached years ago! Last I heard he was still President of this country despite everything he is doing that is anti-Christian and pro-Islam. That means everyone representing us is going along with the crowd. It means they are part of the problem not part of the solution. Sometimes not having the guts to vote for the right thing will come back to haunt you. Surely would be nice to see a list of voting Congress People that have voted for things we all should be against. But that might be a subject to do just before an election. Just for the record, I have never ever been 100% politically correct on anything. I have a tendency to tell the truth as I see it. That can and has gotten me in trouble in the past.

I grew up in the news business. Back in the 70's, before newspapers were totally controlled, I'd do to school in the morning and know that my school mates with papers in their yards would be Democrats. I'd know that those with papers in their yard in the afternoon would be Republicans.Their families didn't usually chose the morning or afternoon newspapers because of the paper's political leanings but because of the time of day reading the paper was the most convenient. Their political philosophy wasn't a reflection of Intelligence and education as much as the slant and the information they were given by the newspapers. Its like being in a jury. The defendant's lawyer makes a wonderful case and you wonder how this saintly man could be the victim of such an obviously unjust accusation. Then the prosecutor presents his case and you wonder why the defendant is bothering with a trial. Why doesn't he just plead guilty. What if the prosecutor was not allowed to give his case and only the defense attorney? Or vice versa? That's the way the news has become. We talk about the mainstream media without knowing how it got to be this way. The news and entertainment doesn't exist to make money. It exist for control. All through history powerful people have financed news to sway public opinion. They lose money by doing it but make more money by other enterprises. How we got here started with Europe's Communist Revolution of 1848. It is often viewed as a failed revolution because so many high level communists were forced to flee Europe. And the communists ended up in America. One was Carl Schurz. who started a newspaper in Missouri and helped expand the new collectivist Republican Party.Schurz's wife Margarethe founded the first kindergarten in America. Another colleague of Marx's was the anti-catholic and anti-southern Henry Boernstein. He also ended up in Missouri, started a newspaper and joined the Republican Party. There were scores of communist refuges in America doing the same thing. Some very powerful, very wealthy entity in Europe was backing all this. In 1860 the progressives had a huge stroke of luck with the election of Lincoln. Lincoln closed nearly 400 newspapers in the North alone.

What happens when this huge male becomes a transgendered female and wants to play on the women's wrestling team? This is not going to work out in the locker room or on the playing field. What is wrong with our society that we are willing to give people sex changes just because they do not like being a man or a woman. Look at all the people born who have congenital abnormalities and are born without limbs and organs. I can understand their gripe but not some person that wants a sex change when they are perfectly anatomically normal but just have a screw loose up up stairs.

I would actually be interested in hearing the authors opinion on this. For example if a teacher is allowed to hand out a bible to a kid who asks for it then would it not be against the freedom of religion to say no to a each teacher doing the same with a different religious book?

Don't call these examples 'political correctness'; that description is far, far, far and away too weak. That is not what we are looking at. These statements and beliefs are social engineering and the introduction of communism in The United States.
