But if you don't mean the publishers, then I don't understand your case. More conservative authors should work to be published if you agree that publishers aren't choosing things to publish based on their political beliefs, no?

I'm not advocating anything, I'm just stating in my experience, the over all point, that PC has taken over the YA world, is valid.
As far as publishers and political beliefs, well that sort of thing has a way of working itself out. I think we are seeing that with the Hugo, the Oscars and other awards. When an award is given to works that we enjoy, then we take the award more seriously. If an award is given to works that we don't enjoy, then we tend to start ignoring the award. When awards stop translating into increased sales, then the award loses it's meaning.
