Political correctness in education suffered another defeat this week when the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education dropped its vague but politically loaded recommendation that education students show a belief in "social justice" to graduate. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and others pressured the group to do so, particularly because the accreditation council influences a lot of schools of education. "This is a real victory for academic freedom and private conscience in our education schools," FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said. Educators only stop their mischief when they are exposed.
