The Dangers of Political Correctness. By- Austin Reichert

On page 58 Beatty talks about the issue that created book burning in the society. This issue that we deal with today too is political correctness. After all the books and school are dumbed down to make reading and learning fast and fun people became offended by books. Without the intelect to have an opinion, the people that were offended started to burn the books to make every one happy. Books that offended them because of their nationality were burned because noone stood up and said no. The scariest thing about this was that even companies could get books burned if they talked bad about their company. I see many of these same these same things in our society today. This is a scary though because people are always sueing people for racism and political correctness. People are always worried about what they are going to say and do because they could offend someone. As the book goes on I will expand this idea on this blog. If you have any examples of crazy political correctness please comment. -Austin Reichert
