[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The level of censorship and prior restraint at today's colleges is so bad that [b]even Chris Rock and Seinfeld[/b] don't tour them any more.

Closing kids' minds to "potentially offensive" speech and ideas is no way to teach them how to live in a free society.[/quote]

I am wondering what is "even" about "even" Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld not doing shows on college campuses.[/quote]

Seinfeld recently bailed on doing a campus appearance re: fears over unPC crude content. You know, run of the mill 21st century standup. It's comedy for gods sake. If you don't like it find something else to do on Friday night and don't go to the show. Some whiny little Social Justice Warrior at the school then fired off a painfully long winded rebuttal to Seinfeld about what comedy is "supposed" to be about. Seriously, a know nothing kid with a future at Starbucks trying to school one of the richest most popular comedians of all time on what commentary he *should* be discussing and to be more sensitive.

Check out the Atlantic article about the "victimhood culture" phenomenon and you'll see why this is a thing. So many folks out there aka Perpetual Victims who now go into situations with the intention of being offended. Even when they have a choice to change the channel or not attend the show, speaker, event etc.

It's an incredibly stupid social complex and I don't see it going away anytime soon.[/quote]
