I’ve spent most of my adult life to this point in academics. Currently, there is little that qualifies as ‘intellectual’ going on at universities. The quote from the ‘diversity scholar’ exemplifies this. The words ‘facts’ and ‘evidence’ don’t mean what these people think they do.
“But this kid clearly is a provocateur in training with no intention of learning. He exists only to troll, intimidate and play victim.”

Hmmmm...
“A goal of professional provocateurs is to provoke the campus community into trying to silence them. Think of campus trolls as schoolyard bullies. Oh, their words definitely hurt. But the real question is: How do we respond to that hurt? A troll wants you to censor them. It feeds into their power and gives them something to sell. You don’t have to play that role.”

The authorities in power in England during Thomas Paine’s lifetime saw him as an agent provocateur

How is this not creating a hostile work environment, something that is illegal under US labor law?
I remember way back when the ACLU used to defend the discriminated little guy...yea, swallowed that propaganda way back in 70’s. Now I vomit finally.
And liberals give up the opportunity to “educate”. Nope, just label the 18 year old as evil and then wonder why he becomes a dedicated activist against them ...
But if he were a 20 year old Antifa rioter, they’d say forgive him, bail him out, he’s not old enough to understand what he’s doing wrong.
