Political correctness definition

There's an annual contest at the Griffith University, Australia, calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year's term was 'political correctness.
The winning student wrote:

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of poop by the clean end."
