Southern Methodist University has ordered a bake sale with good priced differently according to the VQ (victimhood quotient) of various groups be stopped on the grounds that some students found it “offensive” and that it created a “hostile environment” according to this article.
This trend is disturbing. On many campuses, the thought police are extremely sensitive to any speech or conduct that is annoying to anyone who is a “protected class,” which is to say, almost anyone other than white males. We’re moving toward the day when it will be prohibited to disagree with people in a “protected class.” I wonder what would happen if a young Thomas Sowell were to complain that it created a hostile environment for him if a group of white leftists held an event praising affirmative action?
