Yeah, I didn’t mean that there weren’t fights over political correctness back then. But the attitudes were alot different. Liberal attitudes toward acceptable speech really don’t look like what you see now at all. Of course attitudes always varied, I’m not saying everyone thought X then but thinks Y now.

The first backlash I ever knew about regarding PC was the short satire book Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, which my mom had, but she laughed at it and she’s basically liberal.

I’m sure that that’s where I learned the phrase. I’ve read that it was the actually literal origin of it, but I don’t know if that’s true.

I just checked to see if anyone was streaming “Higher Learning,” but it’s not available without an individual rental.
