The triggers and microaggressions and hurtful language of contemporary higher ed now come back to haunt the teachers in the schools that indulged and attended to them:
_"The Coddling of the American Mind"_
"In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don’t like. Here’s why that’s disastrous for education—and mental health." How Trigger Warnings Are Hurting Mental Health on Campus - The Atlantic
"During the 2014–15 school year, for instance, the deans and department chairs at the 10 University of California system schools were presented by administrators at faculty leader-training sessions with examples of microaggressions. The list of offensive statements included: “America is the land of opportunity” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.”"
"Stanford recently canceled a performance of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson after protests by Native American students. UCLA students staged a sit-in to protest microaggressions such as when a professor corrected a student’s decision to spell the word indigenous with an uppercase I — one example of many “perceived grammatical choices that in actuality reflect ideologies.” A theater group at Mount Holyoke College recently announced it would no longer put on The Vagina Monologues in part because the material excludes women without vaginas. These sorts of episodes now hardly even qualify as exceptional.
Yes, you see it here daily. The American left is completely out of control and dangerous.
It is strongly coming from the west coast and mainly your great state of CA.
It's worrisome what may happen to the 1st amendment which is our main major protection.
We may end up like England where "Offensive" language might get you arrested.

Your Liberal professor article was completely hypothetical, the only real example he gave was actually a Conservative who basically called the professor a communist
Quote:
"What about Fannie and Freddie?" he asked. "Government kept giving homes to black people, to help out black people, white people didn't get anything, and then they couldn't pay for them. What about that?"

It doesnt matter, He started a discussion based on a hypothetical future possibility and played it off as if it was something the professor was actually claiming to be happening at this moment. The professors only real life example in the entire argument is one that is talking about a Conservative student who complained.
The other 3 articles are in the same light as that one.

dsjj251 desperately doesn't want readers to see the numerous real life examples that prompted, and are included within, the writing of these articles--particularly so close together to each other in publishing timeframe. This month's new Atlantic article references the Vox piece.

America has always been "The Land Of Opportunists".
