Over-Indulging in political correctness!
In my opinion, I have to say, we are much to politically correct in this country today. The tragic Ft. Hood shooting, is one example of how this country has bent over backwards to be politically correct with “special” groups. Mass murders and horrific events don’t happen daily, but making concessions in an attempt to be politically correct does. I am not saying that being 
politically correct leads to mass shootings, but I am saying we have become to tolerant across the board. Concessions are made by businesses, organizations, churches, and other entities daily for “special” groups in order to avoid possible lawsuits. I do believe that the intent of being politically correct is a positive one, but everything needs to be done with moderation. In the case of political correctness, I believe we have over indulged to the extreme side. We need a balance here!
In an article by Fox News, it says “The issue here (Ft. Hood tragedy) is that there’s a political correctness climate in the military. They don’t want to say anything because it would be considered questioning somebody’s religious belief, or they’re afraid of an equal opportunity lawsuit”.
We would be kidding ourselves if we think this type of soft approach happens only in the military. Time and time again, situations across this country are handled with “kid glove” instead of dealing with them based on the facts and reality of the situation. I am not generalizing and saying everyone in these “special” groups uses this to their advantage, but there are a percentage that do.
