The Myth of Political Correctness

The Conservative Attack on Higher Education
Book • 1995
In this book, John K. Wilson challenges the notion of political correctness as a pervasive threat to free speech on college campuses.

He argues that many stories about political correctness are exaggerated or fabricated, and that the real threat to academic freedom often comes from conservative forces.

Wilson explores topics such as multiculturalism, speech codes, and reverse discrimination, revealing how these issues are often misrepresented in public discourse.
