Nit-picking Lion
This week, we cross-posted a story about the University of California's "Intolerance Report Form". Now Penn State University is encouraging its students to report cases of "micro-aggression" -all while insisting they defend the First Amendment rights of all.

I wonder how you reconcile the two.
The problem is that in this academic atmosphere of "white privilege", victimization, Islamophobia, homophobia, micro-aggression, trigger warnings and all the other forms of "oppression", PSU is going to be flooded with complaints because some white person supported securing the borders or defended Israel against Palestinian terrorism, etc etc, etc. You cannot state that you defend the First Amendment on the one hand and then ask your students to report "offensive" statements on the other.
I think I might have suffered some kind of micro=aggression, only it was too small for the human eye to see.
