No one is ignorant anymore. Not in the view of the politically correct. They're just "low on information." Folks who didn't vote for Barrack Obama because he is a Muslim and born in Africa, for example, weren't gullible, mentally careless fools. They were just low on information. When Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that a Rothschild financed Jewish space laser deliberately ignited those devastating fires in California, she wasn't being a bigoted ignoramus. She was merely information deficient.
Note how deliciously nonjudgmental this is. No one is too lazy or emotionally needy to pursue actual facts. They simply are "less informed." It's like being left handed as opposed to right handed! There's no fault involved, no personal responsibility. They're just that way.The politically correct are oblivious to the fact that ignorance is often an achieved trait. Sure, for the mentally deficient ignorance is acquired. But what about the person of normal capacity who still adamantly insists on the ridiculous? For instance, that the condensation trails of planes flying at high altitude are actually "chemtrails" containing harmful substances released for sinister purposes. Given decisive and easily available evidence to the contrary, isn't such ignorance that individual's personal responsibility? Aren't they responsible for believing this childish bullshit?
Not from the politically correct point of view. For them, there are no ignoramuses, no emotionally needy true believers. Such folks are just information deficient. In fact, recently they've adopted the even less judgmental view they are just "differently informed." Think the earth is a mere 6,000 years old? They're not wildly off by over 4 billion years. A 6,000 year earth age is just as good as any other when you're "differently informed.
No source authority is superior any other. Let's suppose you think the earth is 6,000 years old because you are relying on the late Bishop Ussher. This 17th Century Church of Ireland prelate won lasting fame by meticulously adding the many generations of the Bible, then deciding that creation took place at 6 pm, 23 October, 4004 BC. (He was uncertain about the exact time of day.) This humbug is thoroughly discounted by a mountain of scientific evidence! But that matters only if you accept the findings of science as reliable. But in the painfullethat non-judgmental view of the politically correct, you can simply be "differently informed" because no authority is better than any other.
How far does this feverish nonjudgmental delusion take us? We end up in a world where truth and fact are totally inoperative. Where the scientific method is passé. Where the earth is actually flat if you think it is. And what are the implications of this metastasizing new super "tolerance" for the processes and purposes of schooling? Don't even ask!
