The students there deserve nothing better. They don’t actually READ classic literature anymore; the only way to learn is for them to live it. Stupidity SHOULD BE painful.

“...We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
George Orwell, 1984

"In other words, as the complaint says, “the most sensitive student on campus effectively dictates the terms under which others may speak.” Under this absurd but dangerous policy, a student expressing his positive opinion about Donald Trump could be considered “bothersome” to the many (or any of the) liberal students on campus."
But will it cut both ways, e.g., if someone criticizes Trump, will Trump supporters be able to file complaints under this same policy?

It’s Now 1984 at the University of Michigan It's getting to be "1984" everywhere, and with a good measure of "Animal Farm" thrown in to boot!

But will it cut both ways, e.g., if someone criticizes Trump, will Trump supporters be able to file complaints under this same policy? Complaining about Leftists will be treated as bullying, and will subject the complainer to disciplinary action.

The only reason I care about these idiot college kids is that they are ALL being trained this way. And in 15 - 20 years, they will be running the government.
I think I’ll be keeping my second amendment rights a little longer, just in case.

No, it won’t cut both ways. And no, you may not. In fact, the person making THAT complaint will be investigated. This is not an honest policy, it is simply revolutionary socialist activity.
