I gues it all depends upon what you call PC. Requiring teachers to use purple ink to grade tests because red and green have too many "connotations" of right and wrong is crap. Changing the grading system so that no one gets an F is crap. I can go on and on.
Not using the "N" word is not an issue of PC -- it is one of courtesy and respect.
