Yes it has

"The PC revolution has devoured its children," writes John Robson in 'The National Post'.  It certainly has and I am ashamed of today's wimpy, wishy-washy, constantly offended younger generation.  Apparently, words of advice given Brian Mulroney by his father, now part of a tribute to the ex-PM at St. Francis Xavier University, were so offensive the president had to drop to full grovel mode and apologize.

What were the words?  "The only way out of a paper mill town is through a university door."  That's what Mulroney's father told him.  But whoa, the offense taken by just one student was enough to make the entire administration eat a big handful of mud, rather than stand up and be proud of one of its illustrious graduates.  (I wasn't a fan, but you can't deny his accomplishments.)

"As a social worker in training (of course, it's a social worker), I need to speak out against oppression and discrimination," said this silly girl.  "Just because post-secondary education is your idea of success, that (sic) doesn't mean that (sic) it's everybody else's.  Living in a paper mill town is not an obstacle that (sic) you need to overcome," she whined.  Judging by the number of "sic's" I had to use in just one sentence, this ninny needs to spend more time cracking a grammar book than taking offence at nothing.

"Might I suggest this sentiment is just a tiny bit 'judgy'," writes Robson. "In fact, taken seriously this argument devours itself as well as its offspring," he adds.  "In the brave new 'how dare you' world, everything and everyone is either offended or offensive.  Nobody can prefer anything or dislike anything.  Which makes them incredible quick to put everyone down, including erstwhile allies."

"The extreme sanctimony and narrow-mindedness of the PC movement, however cloaked in non-judgmental tolerance, means they are very good at tearing things down, including statues of Sir John A. Macdonald, but they are lousy at building anything because they're so angry and negative.  It's grotesque," he concludes.

I wholeheartedly agree.
