While we're discussing wacko applications of "political correctness" I'd love to see FoxNews interview some of our national leaders who decided NOT to enforce the usual health regulations when AIDS became a national problem a few decades ago.
Prior regulations stated that sexual contacts of people with newly diagnosed sexually transmitted diseases had to be notified that they had been exposed to that disease.
Which people decided that sexual partners of HIV positive patients did not need to be notified?
Thousands of lives might have been saved if the commonly used notification procedure had been followed.
A good place to start is with David Horowitz's writings. He summarizes the problem and refers to his more comprehensive writings in this article. Here's an excerpt:
It was the gay left that successfully prevented reporting, testing, contact tracing and other public health methods that had been proven effective in combating epidemic diseases in the past. It was the gay left that blocked government prevention programs from targeting at-risk communities (using the same lie as the Times writer -- that "AIDS is an equal opportunity disease"), and it was the gay left that persuaded government officials instead to put all the anti-AIDS eggs in the basket of incredibly expensive and – as everyone can now see – completely ineffective "education" campaigns. These campaigns were ineffective because – out of considerations of political correctness – they did not specify anal sex as the primary sexual transmission route and were addressed not to those who were specifically at risk, but to "everyone," and thus in effect to no one.
