Political correctness is a deceit. It is a lie. It is an Orwellian form of propaganda. It is censorship. It is a giant elephant at the cocktail party in your living room that nobody will see, nor smell, nor hear, nor speak of, despite its trumpeting, stinking, imposing presence before your very eyes, ears and nose.

I’ve written often in these columns about the stifling and paralyzing effects of political correctness on our culture. Political correctness is a deceit. It is a lie. It is an Orwellian form of propaganda. It is censorship. It is a giant elephant at the cocktail party in your living room that nobody will see, nor smell, nor hear, nor speak of, despite its trumpeting, stinking, imposing presence before your very eyes, ears and nose.

And so it is, with much of the coverage of two recent murder cases in Washington, D.C.—the murder of D.C. school principal, Brian Betts, and that of a promising young attorney, Robert Wone. They are arguably two of the richest mother lodes of both tabloid titillation and murder mystery in Washington, since Chandra Levy turned up missing. But so much of the reporting of these cases fails to uncover the real hidden truths. Most reporters are sticking to a non-controversial script. Why? Because homosexuality is involved. Because reporters are hiding behind the elephant, the safety of acceptable, politically correct interpretations. It would be unthinkable for most of them to broach the subject of gayness and it’s possible role in these two horrific killings. But it’s there in plain view—just like the elephant in the living room that many simply can’t talk about.

The first murder case involves the killing of an admired junior high school principal, Brian K. Betts, who was found dead in the bedroom of his suburban Silver Spring, Md., home last month. He had been shot. The days following his murder, the media positively gushed with over-the-top coverage of this fine young junior high school principal, who’s reputation for tireless work, caring, and molding his young charges at junior high schools in suburban Maryland and later, in D.C., was widely known.

In the early stages of the investigation, there was never a mention in the media of his risk-taking side. Reporters knew of it. Homicide detectives had seen evidence of it on the computer they took from Betts’ home. It was only after the story literally could not be factually told without divulging his dark side, that reporters began doing so. Even then, they omitted some key questions.

It turns out that this fine shaper of teenage hearts and minds had a fondness for the high-risk, high-thrill behavior of cruising; cruising the gay bars and gay Internet chat rooms for sex. The brilliant lesbian feminist writer Camille Paglia has written extensively about “cruising” and how the PC press is utterly silent about cruising’s role in so much of the dysfunction of the gay community.
