Heheh. I remember seeing books like this in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Every generation, upon hitting middle age, starts complaining about how the generation follow isn't as moral, hard working, open-minded, etc., as it was.

To summarize, political correct SJWs are making it so college students aren’t learning how to think anymore by protectjng them from conflict. To prove it see these silly anecdotes blown up in the right wing press over the last decade. Pffft. Save your money.

Thing is "professionally paid smart people" like him write about campus "stuff" are making these broad conclusions based on cherry-picked experiences at a handful of select colleges.

Yep. What always amazes me when I read pieces lamenting the "special snowflakes" of today's youth is how little actual scientific or even empirical evidence is ever actually presented to support the anti-"SJW" anti-"PC" thesis. It's always cherry picked anecdotes.

Indeed, nary a trace of science-based proclamations. I wish reviewers and would call them on it.
