political correct => wrong. political correctness => correct - noun phrase. politically correct => correct - adjective phrase. So you might say "That school tries to be politically correct" and "That school sticks to political correctness". "politically correct" functions as a predicate (adjective) in the first sentence, while in the second, "political correctness" functions as the object of the verb phrase "stick to". The two phrases have their own uses which can't be mixed.
