        @tetzelny Sure, but it's good to have a sense of balance about these things.

        @HeerJeet "political correctness" is vaguery at its finest. A catch-all term that denies specific issues.

        @HeerJeet that's sort of the point of the article - world isn't a safe space, students are unprepared for this

        @BrennanField But that assumes PC is attempt to wish away bigotry rather than a movement to challenge bigotry.

        @HeerJeet You can be against trumpism and campus PC nonsense at the same time. Did you read the jaw-dropping examples in the Atlantic piece?

        @shoelessnorm24 You can be against both but it's good to have a sense of proportions about what has a greater impact.
