“That tactic is to claim harm”

What they are claiming is that they have PTSD. If these words and symbols really do trigger PTSD, then they are mentally ill and they need to seek professional help. But they are not sick. They are feigning illness to get sympathy and to justify indignation, like a dog that limps to get attention or a treat. These snowflakes need their triggering to be challenged at this level, because it is all bullshit.

Thanks for this.

But five days later Parrett got an email from President Amy Morrison which had a very different tone. It read in part, “Because of your egregious behavior which has led to substantial harm to hundreds of colleagues on campus, I have asked Dr. Ames, Dean Doug Emory, and [executive director of H.R.] Meena Park to meet with you in the next few days to have a serious conversation about how successful you can possibly be on campus in the future.”

Two days later, Parrett was placed on administrative leave. President Morrison sent a lengthy email mentioning Parrett by name and saying she was stunned by her statement during the training. A disciplinary complaint was filed against Parrett by the vice president who'd made the seemingly supportive call to her a few days earlier. The complaint alleged Parrett had behaved in a “corrupt, insolent and insubordinate manner.”

I wonder if there is a cause of action on behalf of Parrett for at least libel?

“...being subjected to a struggle session by a zampolit from HR.”

I love your characterization of the typical HR denizen. Unfortunately, many will get an up-close understanding of this concept in the coming years. I count myself fortunate I shall not have to participate as I’m only a part-time technical instructor. I’ll miss working with the clients and students and regret that the administration could choose to lose sight of mission of technical education.

Since high school (early 70’s), I had studied the Soviet Union and its dysfunction. Unlike a lot of my high school peers, I had no illusions of communism being some kind of ideal paradise, having met many who had escaped Eastern Europe and having read Solzhenitsyn. I always sparred with one of my uncles who claimed how great things were in Mainland China and Cuba. I also read much about the Bible smugglers. Thus my characterizations in terms of Soviet Union examples.
