Trigger warnings, safe spaces, and fascism on college campuses

I think my favorite mascot in America is the Richland HS Bombers in Richland, Washington - former nuclear processing site for the Manhattan Project. It's got to be one of the most non-PC mascots ever. Logo is a mushroom cloud:

Art - you gonna take this??

[Green Monstah]

Duh.

Next on the chopping block:

1) New England Patriots (also celebrating colonial heritage)
2) Oklahoma Sooners (colonized the homelands of native americans)
3) Texas Longhorns (celebrates the human dominance of a gentle species of animal)
4) Wyoming Cowboys (all of the above)

This is easy.

The slope is slippery, but not that slippery. I'd like to think even the most hypersensitive millennial can draw a line between the oppression of aboriginal peoples and the plight of beasts of burden. But maybe not!!

Are the students at the high school in Idaho that's located near the state's psychiatric hospital still known as the Maniacs? If so, bless 'em.

California shows no class in naming Adolfo Camarillo's mascot after the Scorpions.

I was Jordan Peterson’s strongest supporter. Now I think he’s dangerous

"In the end, I am writing this because of his extraordinary rise in visibility, the nature of his growing following and a concern that his ambitions might venture from stardom back to his long-standing interest in politics. I am writing this from a place of sadness and from a sense of responsibility to the public good to tell what I know about who Jordan is, having seen him up close, as a colleague and friend, and having examined up close his political actions at the University of Toronto, allegedly in defence of free speech. When he soared into the stratosphere he became peculiarly unknowable. There is something about the dazzle of the limelight that makes it hard to see him clearly. But people continue to be who they are even in the blinding overexposure of success. I have known Jordan Peterson for 20 years, and people had better know more about who he is.

There is reason to be concerned."

I got halfway through that and gave up. Ugh...

I made it through. I have a different recollection of the events recounted below, though:

The misogynistic attacks on the British broadcaster Cathy Newman, after she was humiliated and left speechless by Jordan in the infamous “gotcha moment” of their TV interview, were so numerous and vicious that Jordan asked his followers to back off. These devoted followers are notorious for attacking Jordan’s critics, but this was different. It was more persistent and more intense. That was not outrage in defence of their leader who needed none; she was the fallen victim and it was as if they had come in for the final kill.

Yeah, it was a ridiculous essay.

Why is he a d-bag? Educate us.
