Some Ranter has it spot on. See their definition.
It started out as a morally correct and rational thing, but has gone way too far, just like many things in our society.
Why dont we all just shove leashes up our arses and sow our lips together because Freedom of speech is a myth.

Correctional officers are responsible for the custody, care and supervision of offenders in a prison or correctional institution.

Correctional Officers are also known as Detention Officers, Correction Officer and Prison Officers in certain jurisdictions.

Correctional Officers are employees of the federal, state, county or city governments. Contrary to popular belief, Correctional Officers are quialified in firearms and carry them when not in direct proximity with prison inmate population. They are Law Enforcement Officers with jurisdiction in a correctional facility.
Q: Who are Correctional Officers ?
A: Correctional Officers are underpaid, unappreciated and underrated Law Enforcement Officers who are often referred to as "Prison Guards" and often mocked by Police Officers as being wannabe-cops.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a
delusional, illogical, Marxist (Politically Correctly called liberal) minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
The Politically Correct term for Politically Correct is sensitive.

Facts are Politically Incorrect, that is why we need Postmodern "thinking", that is lying elevated into a form of art.

Political Correctness has successfully outsourced censorship to private enterprises.

Something that, through social activity, proves that the United States citizens are slowly losing their freedoms. It is also a joke to try to use weasel words so to make sure nobody gets offended when, in the end, everything still is the same. Political correctness is also targeted only selected groups, which shows it's just another political play with racism and hatred.
Political Correctness in action...
Normal person: "That new movie 1408 looks good, plus it has good actors in it, too. I think that Samuel L. Jackson is one of the best black actors in Hollywood."
Politically correct person: "What?! How dare you use the B-word?! He's not the bad B-word, he's African American."
Normal person: "Um...o...k. Anyway, I also like John Cusack. He's one of my favorite white actors in Hollywood."
Poltically correct person: "Yeah, he's a pretty good actor."

Preparing a dish for a potluck where you're overly conscious about it being low-fat, gluten-free, hypo-allergenic, kosher, soy-free, low sodium, peanut-free, non-offensive to the majority of religious groups and not too spicy.
Sam: What are you bringing to the potluck tomorrow?

Ralph: Well, I don't know because Sally is a vegan, Jim is a diabetic, Lisa needs a kosher dish, Anne has ciliac disease, Bob's allergic to shellfish and Amy gets hives from chocolate.

Sam: Dude, you don't have to be so potlucktically correct!

politically correctness is often used to force someone else to comply with YOUR thinking. Example: Bill Clinton imposed a SIN TAX because HE/THEY could. Being extreme liberal, this was allowed to slide. Georgia's Governor Sonny Perdue ( a republican tax and spend Liberal ) passed a sin tax of his own and banned smoking in the work place, including large manufactoring plants, and any public gathering. He also manipulated the state worker's insurance to charge them an extra 40 dollars per month as punishment.

Now, I said all this.... Still paying attention***

Now the PC target is OBESITY. They have already change the thinking as to what is obese. What used to be twice normal body weight is now just 20 lbs. over normal body weight. Just 20 pounds overweight and someone will shout at you in McDonalds for eating a big mac. (This is already happening).

Soon, those 20lbs overweight will be paying more for airline tickets, health insurance, and the list goes on.

Then what will be next??? Blondes?? Brunettes?? Redheads?? or maybe those who have body odor.

Political Correctness is what will divide the USA again. There will be another split. Conservatives vs Liberals and the hot button issue is Political Correctness. Mark my words, people are talking about it.
