内容简介
Policies governing what is taught in America's colleges and universities, who is admitted, and how faculty are hired (for years viewed as standards of excellence) are now being replaced by standards aimed at "multicultural diversity". Traditional standards are criticised as inherently racist, sexist, and oppressive, while the new perspective is said to be "politically correct." Today, important questions are being raised: Should the study of Western culture be replaced by "multiculturalism"? Is affirmative action inherently racist? These are just two of the numerous issues raised. "Are You Politically Correct?" brings together selections that span the political gamut from the far left to the far right, demonstrating the clash of views on the many issues surrounding the political correctness debate.
