Has anyone read the “incidents” that have upset the children?

Good grief.

And I thought South Parks episode on Safe Place was being sarcastic. They could have gotten their script from those whiny complaints

I think that if I were at the university I'd be expelled in short order. The incidents, as far as I can see, amount to objections to the words "savage", "preps" and "crooks"...all taken wildly out of context.

This is the ultimate end of a concentration on identity politics. Students (and staff too) are now so exquisitely sensitive that almost anything can be interpreted as an affront to their own identity. Personally, I'd say that having to language-police myself every day, tiptoeing on eggshells to avoid instant social condemnation and hostility, is a more pernicious form of oppression than anything they are objecting to.
