    Political correctness in schools is debated as both helping and hindering students' education. While intended to promote inclusion, critics argue it avoids controversial issues and prioritizes avoiding offense over open debate. Several studies have examined the relationship between political correctness, perceptions of racism, and attitudes toward marginalized groups. Overall, the impact of political correctness in education remains complex with reasonable perspectives on both sides.

    Education for this generation’s youth is the key for our nation’s future well-being but it is

    now threatened by political correctness. A politically correct environment seeks to avoid


    controversial issues by maintaining the status quo on matters related to workers in the
    education system while avoiding the best interests of the stakeholders, and it is for this reason
    that political correctness must be challenged on many issues in our school system, so that our
    children have a better chance for learning well and then living well. (Rowman & Littlefield, 2016)

    In 2017, Alexis Dirakis concluded his study (Political Correctness: Implosion of Politics)
    that the original intention of political correctness, namely the ban of libelous statements against
    certain groups or minorities, cannot be subjected to criticism in the name of Western world
    values. Its success and its mobilizing capacity lies in the incontestability of its premises which
    makes any criticism of political correctness highly suspect.

    "The classics of Western culture are out, not being taught, replaced by second-rate and
    Third World texts. White males are a victimized minority on campuses across the country,
    thanks to affirmative action. Speech codes have silenced anyone who won’t toe the liberal line.
    Feminists, wielding their brand of sexual correctness, have taken over." (John K. Wilson, 2020)

    In this article the author (Rosemary Crawly, 2007) finds out that political correctness has
    not gone away: it is still invoked by politicians, the media and individuals within organisations to
    attack anti‐racism and anti‐racist learning.

    This article presents the findings of three studies that investigate the relationship
    between political correctness and the tendency to accuse racism in situations involving both
    Black and White individuals. The studies found that in the first two studies, individuals with
    higher levels of PC were more likely to claim racism in ambiguous scenarios. The third study
    suggested that exposure to PC did not change this tendency, indicating that PC might be a
    stable personality trait.

    In this article the author (John Wiley & Sons, 2011) said "Everyone thinks they know
    what it means, but its own meaning constantly shifts. Its surprising origins have led to it
    becoming integrated into contemporary culture in ways that are both idealistic and ridiculous.
    Originally grounded in respect for difference and sensitivity to suffering, it has often become a
    distraction and even a silencer of genuine issues, provoking satire and parody."

    In 2000, two studies were conducted to assess the relationship between perceptions of
    political correctness (PC), threatened identities, and social attitudes. The first study focussed on
    121 undergraduate students. As predicted, differences in beliefs about PC were found between
    members of social groups based on gender ideology and sexual orientation. A second study
    conducted with 53 faculty members as respondents provided further support for the attitudinal
    hypothesis. In addition, it was found that faculty members tend to have more clearly integrated
    views about PC than students.

    In 2016, Dan Moller said "Political correctness, as I argue, is an important attempt to


    advance the legitimate interests of certain groups in the public sphere. However, this type of
    norm comes with costs that mustn’t be neglected–sometimes in the form of conflict with other
    values we hold dear, but often by creating an internal schism that threatens us with collective
    irrationality. Political correctness thus sets up dilemmas I wish to set out (but not, alas, resolve).
    The cliché is that political correctness tramples on rights to free-speech, as if the potential loss
    were merely expressive; the real issue is that in filtering public discourse, political correctness
    may defeat our own substantive aims."

    In 2021, Stephen T Russell, Meg D Bishop, Victoria C Saba, Isaac James, Salvatore
    Ioverno said schools are often unsafe for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and
    questioning (LGBTQ) students; they frequently experience negative or hostile school climates,
    including bullying and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity at school.
