Politics seem to have gotten into every place they should not be: employment, medical system, judicial system, sciences and mathematics, the military- **the push for "political correctness" in the late 80s-early 90s set the stage for this insanity.** I remember being a kid and hearing that term "political correctness" all the time growing up. I didn't understand what it meant until I was a preteen, and I didn't understand the insidious, destructive, divisive nature of it until *after* I was out of public school and the military. **Once I was no longer under the "care/employ" of the government, a lot of things became clear to me.**
