Comedian says politically correct speech isn’t working

Comedian Chelsea Handler wrote a terrific op-ed in the Daily Beast about our “failed experiment” in politically correct speech.

She writes, “Americans have given political correctness a try and it’s not working. We’re better off just saying what’s on our mind… and thinking about it before we say it… and laughing about it after we say it.”

More comedians continue to stick up for freedom of expression and push back on the demands for politically correct speech. Like artists and writers, comedians exist on the fringes of dialogue in order to expose (and laugh at) the problems of human nature.
