Dude, you are the one mixing things up. PC isn't a freedom of speech issue unless it is the government telling you what you can and cannot say (like the FCC does to Howard Stern).
Why are you bringing freedom of speech into this? WHo is talking about the governement chilling speech?
I am not. I am talking about private individuals chilling speech of other private individuals. Which has nothing to do with the 1st amendment since the government isn't in the equation.

The only political correctness that ever presented a threat was college speech codes, which academic leftists embraced briefly in the early '90s before it became entirely obvious that it was a stuuuuuuuupid idea and left college graduates unprepared for interacting in the work place with GPs and CEOs. Little did they know jocks and rednecks would perform such a useful function in the academy.

It just depends on what you mean by threat. If you mean it is unconstitutional, well that is only true if it is a state university. Private universities can do that shit and get away with it since they aren't the government.
Why are you talking about freedom of speech?

No need to do that. This isn't a first amendment issue.
