“Do you have something so incredibly important to say,” she asked him, that it is worth the “division of these people?”
Anyone care to explain to me how this is an "exchange of ideas that is very much alive on campus"? |
The new way of teaching is "don't make anyone upset." I read my nephew's college term paper. He has to take extraordinary measures to make certain a pronoun is not used incorrectly. Colleges take the meaning of harm to a whole new level. He is very much restricted in what he can say and write.
Example: I just wrote: He is very much restricted in what he can say and write. Fail! This statement would imply that he alone is being restricted.
He has to write something like. The college holds each of their students accountable for their speech and written word. Nope! Fail! This would imply the college does not hold its staff and administrators accountable only the students.
He says it gets easier with more and more practice but has to reread what he wrote over and over to make certain a pronoun harms no one.
Maybe a silly slip-up caused the uproar on that campus?
