Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Has political correctness undermined free speech in the US?: 9 of 61
There are two types of p.c. in this country right now: the first being an effort from the far left to basically regulate what they believe to be an acceptable work place or public mode of speaking.

As I walked through the door the air conditioning hit me like a bad dream, there was no turning back now. I had no other business in here, hadn't even considered an excuse in case I peed myself and couldn't go through with it. Then it happened, something that I didn't know I had until that moment.
