Bestiality Supporter Takes the Prize
By Martha Kleder, Washington, D.C., correspondent
http://www.family.org/cforum/fnif/news/A0015492.html
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute has named the winner of this year's
Polly Award for political correctness on college campuses.

Taking the top award in political correctness for 2001, is Princeton
University, home of the outrageous Australian-born ethicist, Dr. Peter
Singer.

Winfield Meyers, with the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI),
http://www.isi.org/
(50 Best & Worst Books of the 20thC. have a look see
http://www.isi.org/publications/ir/50worst.html )
explained that Singer's controversial views include support not only for
infanticide and euthanasia, but now extend to bestiality — sex between
humans and animals.

"If you think human life is really no different from the life of a mouse,
(and) if a human infant has no more right to live than, say, a cat (as
Singer does), then why not bestiality?" Meyers asked.

Bob Knight, with the Culture and Family Institute of Concerned Women for
America, http://www.cwfa.org/about/

said ISI is on target in seeing the danger of Singer's opinions.

"Zanies like Peter Singer are first a curiosity, then their views are
examined seriously, and then they mysteriously enter the mainstream if not
enough people raise protests about (them)," Knight said.

Peter LaBarbera, with the Americans for Truth Project of Kerusso
Ministries, http://gaytoday.badpuppy.com/garchive/events/101599ev.htm
said support for bestiality is bad enough, but he fears that
even more bizarre views are ahead.

"We've seen people say that incest is OK, and yet somehow they think they
will (draw the line) at sex with children," LaBarbera said. "Of course not,
we're going to see more and more people advocating pedophilia, too."

Meyers said the Polly Awards were conceived as a means of drawing the
public's attention to the more bizarre and more outrageous examples of
political correctness that exist on college campuses all across the country.

Other Polly Award winners include the University of Oregon, for forcing
students to pay for an office for the Animal Liberation Front, and the
State University of New York at Albany, for sanctioning a sadism and
masochism club.

PC Marxist Roots Unearthed
>From the February 1998, Campus Report, a publication of Accuracy In Academia
Sun. Dec. 17 -- Political Correctness is intellectual AIDS. Everything it
touches it sickens and eventually kills. On America's college campuses it
has diminished freedom of speech, warped curricula, politicized grading and
replaced intellectual integrity with vapid sloganeering. In classroom after
classroom, professors offer an ideological rant, which students are
compelled to regurgitate to get a grade: the vomit returns to the dog. These
places--and they are many--are no longer universities, but small,
ivy-covered North Koreas.

Just what is Political Correctness? The "Politically Correct" people on your
campus really, really don't want you to know the answer to that question.
Why? Because Political Correctness is nothing less than Marxism translated
from economic into cultural terms.

The parallels are obvious. First, both classical, economic Marxism and the
Cultural Marxism that is Political Correctness are totalitarian ideologies.
Both insist on "truths" that are contrary to human nature and experience.
Contrary to economic Marxism, there is no such thing as a "classless
society," and economic incentives matter. Contrary to Political Correctness,
men and women are different, as are their natural roles in society; races
and ethnic groups have specific characteristics; and homosexuality is
abnormal. Since the only way people will accept the ideologues' "truths" is
if they are forced to, they will be forced--by the full power of the state,
if the Marxists of either stripe can control it.

The second parallel is that both classical Marxism and Cultural Marxism have
single-factor explanations of history. Classical Marxism argues that all
history was determined by ownership of the means of production. The
Politically Correct Cultural Marxists say that history is explained by which
groups--defined by sex, race and sexual normality or abnormality--have power
over which other groups.

The third parallel is that both varieties of Marxism declare certain groups
virtuous and other evil a priori, without regard for the actual behavior of
individuals. Thus economic Marxism defined workers and peasants as good and
the middle class as evil, and Cultural Marxism defines blacks, Hispanics,
Feminist women, homosexuals and some other minorities as virtuous and white
men as evil. Political Correctness does not recognize the existence of
non-Feminist women and defines blacks who reject its ideology as whites.

The fourth parallel is in means: expropriation. Economic Marxists
expropriated the property of the middle and upper classes and gave it to the
state. Cultural Marxists, on campuses and in government, lay penalties on
white men and give privileges to the groups they favor. Affirmative action
is an example of this kind of expropriation.

Finally, both types of Marxism employ a method of analysis guaranteed to
show the correctness of their ideology in every situation. For classical
Marxists, the method is Marxist economics. For Cultural Marxists, the method
is linguistic: deconstruction. Deconstruction first removes all meaning from
"texts," then inserts new meaning: one way or another, the text illustrates
the oppression of women, blacks, homosexuals etc. by white men and Western
culture. The intended meaning of the author is irrelevant.

These parallels are not coincidental. They exist because the Cultural
Marxism of Political Correctness is in fact derived from classical, economic
Marxism, largely through the work of the Frankfurt School. Following World
War I, European Marxists faced a difficult question: why did the proletariat
throughout Europe not rise in revolution and establish a new, Marxist order,
as their ideology said it would? Two prominent Marxist thinkers, Antonio
Gramsci in Italy and Georg Lukacs in Hungary, came up with an answer:
Western culture. Western culture so blinded the workers to their true,
"class" interests that they could not act on them. So before socialism could
come to power, Western culture had to be destroyed. Lukacs in 1919 posed the
question, "Who will save us from Western civilization?" As Deputy Commissar
for Culture in the Bolshevik Bela Kun government in Hungary that same year,
the first thing he did was introduce sex education into Hungarian schools.

In 1923, Lukacs and a group of German Marxist intellectuals founded a "think
tank" intended to translate Marxism from economic into cultural terms, the
Institute for Social Research at Frankfurt University. The Institute quickly
became known as the Frankfurt School. In 1933, when the National Socialists
came to power in Germany, the Frankfurt School moved to New York City.

There, its key figures--Theodor Adano, Erich Fromm and Wilhelm
Reich--developed critical theory," a crossing of Mark with Freud that
labeled the key components of Western culture "prejudice," i.e., a
psychological disease. The "critical theorists" argues that to eliminate
"prejudice," Christianity, capitalism and the traditional "patriarchal"
family all had to be destroyed.

The connection between the Frankfurt School and the student rebellion of the
1960s was made primarily by a key Frankfurt School member, Herbert
Marcuse--the man who in the '60s coined the phrase, "Make love, not war."
Marcuse's books "Eros" and "Civilization" argued that the tools with which
to destroy Western culture were, in effect, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. He
popularized the Frankfurt School's ideas in ways the '60s student radicals
could understand and absorb, and we now know his work Political Correctness.
