It took my daughter, a freshman, about a week to get her creative writing class all riled up. When asked, she pointed out her opinion of some differences between male and female roles (or at least how they are looked upon by society). According to her, a fellow student raised her hand, declared that she was a feminist and deeply offended by my daughter's remarks, and eventually started crying and stormed out of the class.

My daughter said an argument ensued where one person took her side, or at least defended her right to express her opinion. While the rest of the class took the feminist's side where one should not speak if one has views that could be deemed controversial or offensive.

The class was eventually dismissed early. My daughter originally felt that the professor took the feminist's side, but in a private meeting, I guess the prof agreed that the feminist young lady was a bit high strung on the matter.

“where one should not speak if one has views that could be deemed controversial or offensive.”

If the administration uses the word “offensive”, they mean it is bad and won’t be allowed.

If the administration uses the word “controversial”, they mean it is good and will be allowed.

David Horowitz is offensive. The Vagina Monologues is controversial.
