National Lampoon Magazine covers from the early 70's

George Carlin: "Censorship from the right is to be expected. Censorship from the left took me by surprise. And I’m talking, of course, about what originated as campus speech codes at eastern universities and has come to be called politically correct language. The impulse behind political correctness is a good one, but like most things America falls in love with, it has become grotesquely distorted beyond its usefulness." Source

So with this proposal from the Zero administration, it will codify P.C. on campus where they will have these Star Chamber’s or Show J-Boards operating even on campuses that stayed out of the P.C. fray.

One thing I want to remark is George Carlin gets right to the point and is shame that he is now gone. I know he would a lot of thing to say about what is going on today !

I had forgotten how funny that magazine was. Now that Feb. 1974 cover is funny.
