      Some really needed perspective. There are a few incidents a few high-profile columnists are unreasonably obsessed with (well, it feeds a myth their readership likes), and some professional grifters trying hard to manufacture a few more (mostly unsuccessfully). That’s it.https://twitter.com/jeffreyasachs/status/972150713890549760 …

      Obviously there have been few indefensible incidents. A few. The weird obsession of a few pundits with a few incidents of excessive behavior is .. genuinely immature. Young and overreacting a bit here and there... not surprising. What is the excuse of these grown-up pundits?

      There are serious and profound challenges to free speech today. Campus incidents could reasonably be covered as a minor footnote—if the goal was to defend freedom of speech rather than beat up on activist youth in higher-ed. Brouhaha is about political targets, not free speech.

          Yes, like when it happens on the world's largest video hosting platform, overseen by precisely the same types of people, applying the same ideology.

          Stress about change will always result in a “kids these days” genre of coverage. It’s superficially coherent and anecdotes are more powerful than statistics.

          Yes. "Don't take the bait" is my response to all sorts of people who wish to foment and foster false cultural wars to sharpen division and sow chaos.

          Absolutely. I don't know how many others do this, but I for one make it a matter of principle to expose students to as many POVs as possible, playing devil's advocate if need be. Folks extrapolating from clickbait = not the skills we want to encourage.
