National Review Online ^ | May 14, 2015 | Katherine Timpf

The University of Colorado-Boulder has launched an online system where students can report people who make “hurtful statements” — and it’s so intense that it even asks for offenders’ Social Security numbers. This “Bias Incident Reporting” system is intended to “address the impact of demeaning and hurtful statements as well as acts of intolerance directed towards protected classes,” according to the school’s website.

The East German Stasi approves of this message. I remember watching the movie version of "Fahrenheit 451" and Montag is observing someone about to inform on someone by putting a message in what looks like a mailbox. I am not sure if that is in the book but to paraphrase the Instapundit, "Fahrenheit 451" is a warning not a guidebook.

People sending their kids to indoctrination camps do not deserve kids. They do however deserve the world they created by funding said indoctrination camps.

They talk about “white privilege” but it’s okay to have “protected classes”? And these are the same people who insist that everyone is “equal” and it’s evil to “discriminate.” I guess some are more equal than others.

Hurtful statements? Such as God bless America? Obama sucks? Islam is a cult of evil? I oppose gay marriage?

“Protected classes”? I’m guessing I’m fair game on all levels. But to be sure, is there a list I can look at?

Wouldn’t the university have that record?

Of course they do! Everybody demands it nowadays.

I’d bet the leftists have included “mini-aggressions” in the “hurtful statements” category.

It’s the clear thinking we’re used to seeing from university bureaucrats. The implication is that “demeaning and hurtful statements as well as acts of intolerance” are OK when directed towards classes that aren’t protected. It’s amazing, not that they feel this way, but that they don’t recognize how ridiculous they are.
