"Political correctness ... has the effect of obscuring some of the fundamental
causes of the educational crisis in America."
- William Phillips, Editor of
Partisan Review
"Though PC is often seen as a threat to free speech ... the more subtle threat is
the voluntary limitation on speech which a climate of social conformity
encourages."
- Glenn C. Loury, author of
One by One from the Inside Out: Race and
Responsibility
"The democratization of art and culture for political purposes will only make us
dumber than we are, and dumbocracy in America is presently at its height."
- Robert Brustein, author of
Dumbocracy in America
"Political correctness is a form of specious moral one-upmanship, an unholy
stew composed of some leftovers from the egalitarian sixties mixed together
with an expedient, yuppie-style approach to age-old questions of probity."
- Daphne Merkin, author of
Enchantment
