Has this been discussed already? This doesn't even seem real. [/quote]

Ha.  I believe that the "racist" columns referenced in the piece pertained to a well-reasoned column questioning race-based affirmative action and an analytical piece on Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day.  [b]Apparently these free speech discussion of ideas were considered "microaggressions" (maybe "macroaggressions") that were too threatening for certain fragile wallflowers who considered their "safe spaces" invaded.[/b]  Ah, the folly of youth.[/quote]I couldn't help smile when I read the bolded remark.  DC just finished a paper on the civil rights movement where the three African-American students who tried to integrate a southern college were repelled because one of the reasons was certain fragile wallflowers in attendance considered their "safe space" invaded.

I guess fragile wallflowers have been around for some time.
