It's worth bearing in mind that when Haidt refers to problems of "political correctness", he's not talking about polite society, or political rhetoric, or what's allowed on television; he's talking about universities specifically, based on his own experiences (and Bret Weinstein, and Nicholas Christakis, etc).
In his latest book, Haidt clarifies that there are legitimate roles for activism, solidarity, and taboos; his argument is that the activist telos is at fundamental odds with the telos of universities as truth-finding institutions.
