"PC is responsible for everything that's wrong"
Wag of the Finger
Joseph in Texas (column reader)
"The answer to your [Dear Abby's] question ["What's wrong with our country?"]is fairly simple. There's no respect, no discipline, no courtesy, and no consideration for others. Is my opinion politically correct? No! Am I right on the money? Yes! Thank you, Dr. Spock. (PC is not my strong suit.)"

Is this not a classic example of the strict father outlook? Apparently, in the respondent's mind, anyone who claims that certain terms and practices are hurtful and should be phased out is equally in favor of, and responsible for, doing away with all forms of civility, order, and considerateness. Is there a way to address this? Is it worth the time? What is "PC" a code term for, here?

Respect and consideration for others are fundamental progressive values. That Dear Abby letter writer is probably an example of someone who would respond to progressive policies if framed correctly.
