I’m offended by the name of Queen’s College. I demand they change it! (Oh, and send me $25,000 in damages by the way - it’s for the children)

This is closer to Orwell’s “1984”, than to Huxley’s “Brave New World” or Sinclair’s “It Cant Happen Here”..........

I predict the words “Butt-out F***-face!” will be heard more often on campus.

Dont get me wrong, there are plenty of examples of stupid and offensive ideas out there, and Im all for confronting those who express those ideas, but any confrontation ought to be spontaneous and it ought to be limited to truly private individuals rather than agents of the state posing as private individuals. That is what I object to, and what Queens students should be outraged by. Dont think that the experiment will end with interrupted conversations either. Eventually someone will resist the counsel of a student facilitator by telling them to take a hike, probably in words that will themselves be offensive. What will happen then? Will the student facilitator simply respect the right of his interlocutor to have a different opinion and desist, or will the offender be subject to further investigation and sanction, perhaps even expulsion? The stench of "Big Brother" is all over this.

Baby brown shirts, coming to a university near you.
The faculty at most universities are now at least 90% liberals conformists, and no one who thinks differently is likely to be hired or get tenure.
So, now they will send out their Hitler Youth Corps to make sure that the students are kept in line as well.
