Abstract:
The new breed of liberal campus activist is being labeled “PC” for their political correctness. The media and conservative individuals oppose the activists for their “politics of difference.” Women, black, gay, and other liberal minority students say the system has excluded them for so long that they only way they can get equality is by magnifying their differences and demanding more than other groups. Some intimidation of activists has occurred on Duke’s and UNC’s campuses, but students are committed to fighting the status quo.
