Political Correctness Puts Free Speech in Danger of Extinction

Political Correctness runs amuck these days, trying to tell us what we can and cannot do, and some people are always using it as means to rule out our freedom of speech.

January 2013, United States… 

A family walks into a restaurant along with their Down-Syndrome kid. After he does something disruptive, a man sitting at another table whispers to his wife "special children need to be special somewhere else". A nosy waiter overhears the remark and refuses to wait on the family of the man who said it. 

Although the waiter's actions are discriminative, he is not fired, for the sake of political correctness. Instead, he is called a hero and rewarded with over a thousand dollars.

An autistic child named Max Begley is screaming nonsense at the top of his lungs in his front yard. The noise pollution disturbs many people who live on his street, including a mother and her two normal children. The concerned mother sends a little pink letter to Max's family, explaining the situation without pulling any punches. Max's mom calls the police, and reports that she got a "threat letter", the media morphs the story into international news about a "hate-filled" letter that shown up on an innocent "disabled" boy's doorstep, meanwhile, the letter's actual message is being ignored. The police are still looking for the sender of the "evil" letter, which wasn't a threat in the first place. 

June 2014, United States…
The Government decides to cancel the trademark of the Washington Redskins football team, Saying the team's name is offensive to Native Americans despite the fact that there are many Native American fans of the team.

Just because race or disorders are involved, These three things happened differently than they would otherwise. Imagine if Max Begley was normal, would the police be on the case? No, Instead, Max's mom would likely be fined for abusing 911.
