John Whitehead's Commentary
- There will come a time in the not-so-distant future when the very act of thinking for ourselves is not just outlawed but unthinkable.
- We are being shunted down the road to that dystopian future right now, propelled along by politically correct forces that, while they may have started out with the best of intentions, have fallen prey to the authoritarian siren song of the Nanny State
- Having concluded that "we the people" cannot be trusted to think for ourselves, the powers-that-be have taken it upon themselves to re-order our world into one in which they do the thinking for us, and all we have to do is fall is line
- Everything is now fair game for censorship if it can be construed as hateful, hurtful, bigoted, or offensive provided that it runs counter to the established viewpoint
- In this way, the most controversial issues of our day-race, religion, sex, sexuality, politics, science, health, government corruption, police brutality, etc.-have become battlegrounds for those who claim to believe in freedom (of religion, speech, assembly, press, redress, privacy, bodily integrity, etc.) but only when it favors the views and positions they support
- New York has ordered schools to stop using Native American references in mascots, team names and logos by the end of the current school year or face penalties including a loss of state aid
