Who?
The Campaign Against Political Correctness is a non-partisan organisation
which was set up by John and Laura
Midgley. To find out what each of them have to say just click on their
pictures above or read more about the Campaign below.
Why?
We
strongly believe that political correctness is wrong because:
. It is causing tension
between communities where there need not be any.
. It is encouraging racism and sexism - especially
in the job market - encouraging people to be given jobs based on the
colour of their skin or their sex and not on their merit.
. It tries to protect those
identified as "minorities" (also including women!) despite the
fact that they very rarely consult these people before they speak on their
behalf and more often than not thoroughly insult them by assuming that
they are not perfectly capable of defending themselves or asking for help
if they want it (see our "Latest News" and "Your
Stories" sections for examples of this).
. Although it is supposed to
be around to prevent offence it deems it acceptable to offend the majority
of people on a regular basis.
How?
The Campaign Against Political Correctness aims to:
. Bring like minded people
together.
. Help us all to make the case
against political correctness in our own areas.
. Act as a "one-stop ideas shop"
and information point on political correctness.
As a united force we can beat political correctness!
