Dewey letter: Political correctness
Orders from politically correct police of the future:
▪ You must now call the blue sky green because blue offends someone out there.
▪ You must now call the sun daughter-son or you are sexist.
▪ If we say you are a hater, bigot, racist or a denier then that’s what you are, no defense is to be heard or considered.
▪ If we are offended by you, you shall be punished. If you are offended by us, then you need to set your mind right.
▪ You are not allowed to call anyone beautiful for that implies that some are less desirable.
▪ If you hurt the feelings of the protected class then you shall suffer our wrath. If you are not in that class your feelings do not count.
▪ The football will be replaced by a soft, fuzzy ball, uniforms to be made of thick foam and both ending scores will be equal.
▪ If you deny our version of science with facts then your facts are to be banned.
▪ You have free speech as long as it agrees with us.
▪ You can ask any question you want from our approved list.
