[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We’re in a strange time now. We’re trying to navigate a brave new world of racial interaction and equality. There are big considerations of bad publicity , especially for colleges trying to placate an increasingly vocal social justice movement concerned student body, who may view offensive language as physically harmful. These institutions have to balance free speech concerns and all sort of potential racial minefields they may unintentionally fall into by not addressing things the right way. It’s pretty crazy actually. Also this trickles down to the average person now who has to walk on eggshells or mind any criticism or question they may have for fear of being branded discriminatory or racist. What if constructive critiisicm is deemed racist? Honestly not sure how things aren’t just going to end up in gridlock. If you can’t question the foundations of a theory, in good faith, without malice, without fear of retribution, what happens? I guess timeg grinds on and society just uses those unquestionable theories as bedrock.[/quote]

+1  I just played the recording of the seminar with the student's questions for my teenaged boys. Then I told them what wound up happening based upon the exchange. Their response was: "Don't worry Mom. We won't ever ask any questions."  Is that the message we want to send when the goal of the movement is to educate and promote understanding?  The message my kids are taking away is that it better not to speak to anyone than to have good-faith interactions that carry a risk of offending someone.

How has the left not learned that when you behave the way UVA is, you wind up with Donald Trump as president. Silencing every opinion that doesn't align with the left narrative is only fanning the flames. The left thinks opinions such as his are few--but as we learned in 2016, the outrage can lead to horribl consequnces. [/quote]
