   THE HOT-PIEMAN to All   
   Highlights III: Growth of PC

   'Political correctness is often ridiculed, but it is more   
   than just a joke. With its earlier benefits already won, it   
   has now become a hindrance to social progress, and a   
   threat to society. By closing down debates, it restricts the   
   ability of society to tackle the problems that face it.   
   PC promoted multiculturalism in the Netherlands while   
   silencing debate about its drawbacks, until the results   
   exploded in religious violence leaving much of the country   
   living in fear.   
    In Britain, it allowed the creation of alien-ated   
   Muslim ghettoes which produce young men who   
   commit mass murder against their fellow citizens. By   
   promoting the rights of criminals over their victims, it   
   hinders law enforcement and leads to escalating crime. By   
   challenging the authority of teachers, it fuels poor   
   discipline in schools, and by promoting equality over   
   excellence, it degrades the standard of education and   
   inflates exam grades until they become almost mean-ingless.   
     By silencing debate and curbing objective analysis,   
   political correctness can harm those it intends to help. The   
   victims are taught to blame others for their vulnerability,   
   discouraging them from taking responsibility for improv-ing   
   their lives if their problems are self-inflicted.   
     Black communities are encouraged to blame racist   
   teachers for the failure of their boys at school, rather than   
   re-examine their own culture and attitudes to education   
   that may be the prime reasons. The poor sick have ended   
   up having worse healthcare in Britain than they would in   
   mainland Europe because PC for long closed down debate   
   on fundamental NHS reform. Women's employment   
   opportunities can be harmed by giving them ever more   
   rights that are not given to men. The unemployed are   
   encouraged to languish on benefits blaming others for   
   their fate. Poor Africans are condemned to live in poverty   
   so long as they and their governments are encouraged to   
   blame the West for all their problems, rather than   
   confronting the real causes of poor governance, corruption   
   and poor education.'
