A History of Political Correctness: 20 Years After Penn's 'Water Buffalo' Incident

Sadly, this kind of madness seems to be on the rise again, though this time it's inaccurately called the "social justice" movement.
I continue to hope that American liberals will some day come to understand that the extreme left is just as illiberal as the extreme right. The PC days were an embarrassing episode in the history of American universities. (Weirdly, the nuttiest stuff seemed to be strongest at more elite institutions..I still don't understand why that was...) It's a scandal that universities are susceptible to such insanity.
