This article says that the University of Wisconsin was the birthplace of political correctness, because Donna Shalala used to work there, and she is credited with starting the movement.  I have several objections to this.  First, the claim doesn't say that Shalala created political correctness while employed with the University, so it cannot be definitively stated that Wisconsin had anything to do with the movement.  Additionally, the citation is garbage - the article just says that she enjoyed her time at the campus.  This needs serious work.  --[[User:JeffersonDarcy|JeffersonDarcy]] 14:25, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

:Actually, the source he cites attempts to attribute the phrase "political correctness"—a stretch, because the words both appear, but not consecutively—to Robert Lafollette, circa 1912. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 15:35, 26 April 2007 (EDT)
