Today I heard a bit of talk show where the host was bemoaning our society's pushing tolerance without a corresponding emphasis on moral and spiritual values. He contends this is a recipe for degradation of the culture. His basic point, which I share, is we are on a path to nowhere good unless people individually carry a sense of morality, i.e.' what's right and wrong.' Only on that basis can tolerance be taught and practiced.
Political correctness is a form of 'tolerance' that stifles original thinking and attacks morality and truth in the guise of not hurting anyone. This is nonsense and leads to intimidation, not critical thinking and creative discourse.
