I&#x27;ll give it a shot.  Political correctness stops us from having honest conversations about real problems.  It&#x27;s why educators have to tip toe around basic science topics like evolution.  It&#x27;s why people like Sam Harris are put into the &quot;bigot&quot; box instead of us having frank discussions about militant Islam on the evening news.  Political correctness is why the educated people in news can&#x27;t speak honestly to how stupid climate change denial is.  It&#x27;s why we can&#x27;t talk about real problems that seem to be unique to some minority groups.<p>And when these problems don&#x27;t get talked about, they don&#x27;t get solved.  And unless people go out of their way, they simply can&#x27;t be truly informed about the issues.  Hell, they can&#x27;t even learn that there&#x27;s more to be informed ABOUT.
