• This article states that the politically correct believe that they know everything in regards to justice, and that what they know is the entirety of higher education. Education at the higher level is concerned with issues of race, class, and gender. The study of history is based on bringing up all of these issues and applying them to today’s life. The politically correct think they’re trying to perfect societies’ universality and homogeneity. There is a large intolerance for criticism in regards to political correctness. Any attempt to challenge or criticize a view or belief is met with claims of racism, sexism, or homophobia. They are not open in any way to any kinds of criticism.
• This source has helped me look deeper into the ideology of political correctness and get a better feel for it. I do feel like there is some truth to this source in regards to the opposition being slapped with certain labels based on their views, because there absolutely are racist/sexist/homophobic people out there as well. This source has helped me think about my question a little more, and potentially lead to a change in the research question. 
•  In response to my other sources, this source will be the backbone in explaining the political correct ideology. There is a lot of good information to be found in this source that will spark a good conversation between the other sources. There all still a lot of differences in these sources that can bring different facts to the table and introduce new points of discussion.
•    This source has prompted me to research further into how the politically correct ideology is actually represented on college campuses in the U.S. I will also look to see if there are regional differences in regards to the amount of influence political correctness has on different campuses. I have yet to form any new questions for this research, but I do believe there are still better questions to be asking.
