Transcend political correctness and strive for human righteousness.

The line contrasts “political correctness” (socially approved language and positions) with “human righteousness” (a deeper ethical commitment to what is just and humane). It urges readers not to confuse conformity to prevailing norms with genuine moral integrity. “Transcend” implies moving beyond reactive, tribe-bound signaling—whether to avoid offense or to win approval—and instead acting from principled concern for human dignity and fairness. The quote’s force lies in its call to prioritize substantive ethics over performative correctness: to speak and act truthfully, compassionately, and responsibly even when that is unpopular or cannot be neatly captured by fashionable rhetoric.
