The United States education system has existed largely unchanged for hundreds of years. As the system itself remains the same, the content of the courses does not. The discussion about which courses should and should not be required or even offered has moved into a political issue. As the movement toward fairer politics has expanded, so has its influence on the education system. Education on racial issues, which was once deemed necessary, is now being eliminated. A university that feeds on the fear-driven proposals of the politically correct movement ultimately decides to eliminate courses that could be wrongly perceived as discriminatory. There is only one question that needs to be asked due to this new trend. Is political correctness being used to target and remove racial issues from the classroom in an attempt to assimilate all cultures? Using three arguments, this article will attempt to support the idea that forcing political correctness into a classroom removes racial issues and attempts to assimilate minorities. First, political correctness requires changing both the educational structure and the student. Second, political correctness assimilates both the language and actions of individuals. Third, a discussion about white dominance is needed to stop forced assimilation and instead create mutual respect for differences. While being politically correct appears to be a good look, the concept can be used as a weapon in an attempt to stop unwanted discussions. A highly regarded Harvard professor was eventually forced to stop offering his “Peopling of America” course because of its focus on racial issues. (Taylor, 198). Although the Harvard professor taught the same course that... middle of paper... political correctness ideals target and assimilate cultural differences. The ideals of being PC require followers to think the same, act the same, discuss things the same, and avoid all the same questions. Uniformity is not the answer to resolving cultural differences. When uniformity is preferred, a binary is created that allows individuals to be considered part of the group or different. It is this categorization of individuals that allows the elite to manipulate and oppress individuals in the United States. Elites can target a group and the majority will find it justified since that group is not part of the unification. The alternative, however, is to allow discussions about differences to occur. If our society can grow by respecting differences instead of trying to assimilate them, then eventually we will have an entire group that can include any form of minority.
