I find it just astonishing, in the hypocrisy department, that these same clowns who talk about "being triggered" by hurtful words, who scream about transphobia, homophobia, whatever-phobia, have no understanding of what they're protesting and encouraging.

They're just kids, by and large. I know it doesn't excuse it, but when I visit my daughter at college I'm struck by how young they all are. I don't remember being that young as a student, but I guess I was. I do recall having some pretty silly views, some but not all of which probably remain with me to this day, however I should stress that none them related to the Middle East.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

From the RWEC:
What is striking to me is how unintelligently these three academics answered Stefanik’s questions. There are actually some interesting issues here, which a smart and principled administrator could have spoken about in a compelling way. But these academic hacks had nothing insightful to say, and were just trying to get out of the hearing as fast as they could, smirking all the while. I would only add that a Harvard student who wrote that all blacks should be murdered–say, in a conservative student paper, if Harvard had one–would not have a future at that institution. There would be no discussion of “context.”

It would not have occurred to me that a policy against bullying and harassment would allow for calls for genocide against a certain group, while prohibiting calls for killing individual members of that group. Their premise is that that distinction is totally reasonable.
