Agreed. PC doesn’t wiggle fingers inside people’s brains, it rams fingers up their rear ends to make them comply, remain silent, or face termination and/or classes teaching them how to avoid having the fingers rammed up their rear ends again.

This is perhaps the clearest slam-dunk case illustrating PC run amok in our nation’s history. And yet, even this is still apparently up for debate. PC strikes yet again.

But it doesn’t ram fingers up peoples asses. People can stand up to it, and often do so successfully. I have no idea if the culture of PC, as you’re alleging, is prevalent in the Army, and in these particular areas.

I do know that the Air Force, especially, has had an open ‘problem’ of Christian proselytization, of the evangelical variety, and so there may have been precedent set of not disallowing something like this.

Though, as I said, I do think this reflects a certain kind of PC that doesn’t encourage tolerance, but instead blindness; instead of asking people to actively respect each other’s cultures, we’re asked to ignore any display of individuality, because interpretation of it might be offensive or we might get it wrong. That’s very different from “Say this”, it’s “Ignore this”.

I think it’s much more dangerous, and I think it’s quite different from the vast majority of what’s called “PC”, a lot of which is simply politeness.

PC is not an excuse I would consider valid to hide behind, for anyone responsible for this guy.
