  2. But someone yelled at the black guy. The horror! In SC that meant a terrorism indictment for some gold ole boys. Here they just demanded the university president resign.

    The New Intolerance of Student Activism
    A fight over Halloween costumes at Yale has devolved into an effort to censor dissenting views.
    http://www.theatlantic.com/politics...tolerance-of-student-activism-at-yale/414810/

    Professor Nicholas Christakis lives at Yale, where he presides over one of its undergraduate colleges. His wife Erika, a lecturer in early childhood education, shares that duty. They reside among students and are responsible for shaping residential life. And before Halloween, some students complained to them that Yale administrators were offering heavy-handed advice on what Halloween costumes to avoid.

    Erika Christakis reflected on the frustrations of the students, drew on her scholarship and career experience, and composed an email inviting the community to think about the controversy through an intellectual lens that few if any had considered. Her message was a model of relevant, thoughtful, civil engagement.

    For her trouble, a faction of students are now trying to get the couple removed from their residential positions, which is to say, censured and ousted from their home on campus. Hundreds of Yale students are attacking them, some with hateful insults, shouted epithets, and a campaign of public shaming. In doing so, they have shown an illiberal streak that flows from flaws in their well-intentioned ideology.
