There is a virtual consensus among academia that everything we say, think, and do classifies the rest of the world. This "classification" can be very harmful is people aren't taught the limitations and excesses of their own opinions and beliefs. They believe that people are most healthy when they don't allow their own opinions, words or actions to impede on the one-ness of others. And worse, if people aren't taught to respect everyones beliefs (a.k.a pluralism), other people's feeling might get hurt and that is a form of oppression.

That is an argument for thought and speech control, pure and simple.

Actually, they are right, but as you state they have redefined that as a bad thing.

Thanks for the explanation.
