I saw a woman named Sara Khan pushing this in the UK. It turns out that many in Islam consider clapping forbidden. Probably another coincidence.

Yes, clapping is considered UnIslamic.

This is more depressing when you consider that a disproportionate number of Britains ruling class and most of its Prime Ministers over the past 100 years have been Oxford Graduates. The people going to Oxford are the politicians of the future. God help us all.

I agree. No one wants the clap.

The proper response is to expel all the students related to this, no refunds.
They’re too stupid to go to University.

Just think of all of the Snowflake cellphones that have been seriously damaged when the phone’s caretaker unit accidentally dropped it while trying to applaud. Something has to be done to stop these unnecessary tragedies.

If these people can’t deal with the sounds of clapping or other loud sounds they should stay home or wear hearing protection.

Why handicap normal people who wish to express themselves?

"Perhaps we could also have an experiment in this House that would create a more relaxing environment for autistic visitors including returning to waving our order papers in the air rather than clapping...

I'm sure there are people who are triggered by visual, sensory triggers. Just think of all those politicians waving papers in the air. That definitely should not be allowed.

Everyone remain motionless so that one weirdo doesn’t get triggered. There, now aren’t we woke?
