This document summarizes and discusses a news article about political correctness and censorship. It makes three key points: 1) Political correctness begins with good intentions to fix problems but eventually leads to censorship of dissenting ideas and control of language and thought. 2) George Orwell's novel 1984 provides an example of a dystopian future where political correctness and control of language have been taken to their extreme logical conclusion. 3) Elements of political correctness and censorship of language are already present today, such as in public school curriculum that aims to enforce strict codes of political and social correctness.
