Politcal Correctness

The more what is politically correct seeks to replace what God has declared correct, the more ineffective approaches to human problems there will be. (Ensign, May 1996, p. 68.)

One can cater to mortal constituencies but lose the support of the one Elector who matters! (We Will Prove Them Herewith, p. 5.)

The trendy, self-congratulating multitudes [in the great and spacious building] were "politically correct" as they unmeekly mocked and pointed at those who clung to the gospel's iron rod. A few whose hands had once grasped the iron rod ended up in the great and spacious building pointing fingers of scorn at former friends. Strange as it seems, the scriptures do not indicate that these individuals let go of the iron rod for any objective reason, or becausethey were in truth intellectually persuaded by the view of those in the great and spacious building. They were simply ashamed and embarrassed to be separated from the worldy multitudes, whose contempt they would not endure. (On Becoming a Disciple-Scholar,.. p. 18.)
