Idiots are idiots...
This is what academia has become.
Is “precious snowflake” offensive?
1st Amendment....BEGONE!!!! Freakin’ morons.
It is no longer academia, it is indoctrination with suppression of non-liberal ideas
Someone should go around and hang that sign right underneath the other ones
GEEZ Orwell was prescient!!!!
STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK MY BONES, BUT WORDS ARE EVEN WORSE!
Colleges continue to coddle the young mushbrains.
Will they be able to handle real life on the outside?

I've got a few words for their "Bias Response Team" but they would get me suspended or banned!
Ah, BUT grasshopper, you fail to appreciate to power of 'PC'! It is the 'victim' who takes offense based upon their internal perception. Thus nothing is safe no matter what it's objective content. It devolves offense to the most thin-skinned amongst us!
Take care not to denigrate the power of people determined to be offended!
First, they came for the Second Amendment. I did not care, as I did not own guns.
Then they came for the First Amendment...and the Second was not there to protect it.
