I reproduced the entire column here but I just will focus on one sentence: "Politically correct means non-offensive and non-controversial," and the implication of the column title.
This is a student at Duke University which supposedly only accepts the brightest student.
When I read this I thought: What about me? I guess I don't count or even exist in Mr Heffernan's universe; because I'm quite sure he doesn't mind offending me. I'm also guessing he doesn't find it controversial for a male to use a bathroom or a changing room set aside for use by women. That I do is offensive.
That I support Donald Trump is offensive. That I believe in traditional marriage, or nearly anything traditional, is offensive offensive. That I believe that the Framers were incredibly enlightened MEN who established a great political framework that we, in this country, inherited offensive.
Obviously I could go on and on with the preceding paragraph.

I get the feeling Nathan’s “political correctness” will go right out the window if I showed up at his school with a MAGA hat.
Wow, This guy Nathan must be a real lady’s man. How strong and brave he is! Barf.
He's about 20 years old and knows EVERYTHING!
We must listen to him!

You are spot on.
The word Duke is offensive to UNC fans..
Where does he say that what you do or think is offensive?
This is the same University where Nifong was prosecuted for Prosecutorial Misconduct for false charges of rape against the Duke Lacrosse Team and 84 faculty members signed a petition to banish the lacrosse team before any prosecution was done.
Every Democrat is a violent totalitarian thug.
Jeez, another cuck “explaining” that his Stockholm Syndrome is a good and wonderful thing. He’s a coward and nothing more.
Colleges no longer teach HOW to think, but WHAT to think.
In my opinion, if you have a newer degree, it isn’t worth spit unless it is a doctorate because only in a doctorate program is a student required to think and write.

...he obviously likes to type and read while conveying nothing.... guess he thinks “comfort zones” where people can go to hide and pet each other on the head after they couldn’t decide what kind if pizza they should order
is OK with this flake....in the past they were called asylums.
Political correctness at its core is willful self delusion. Anyone who hires this man for any position is a fool.
Wrong. It is the antithesis of truth and comes straight from Satan himself. A political tool of bloodthirsty leftist totalitarians to denote which thoughts, actions and speech are 'acceptable' of the moment, subject to change when the agenda does.
“It is important for us to take ownership of our words” how This guy is a dunce.
I think I feel a song coming on.
I am not politically correct. No were my forebears politically correct. I am leaving this one with you. Enjoy.
Wow.
Truly dumber then advertised.
He thinks that by making himself oatmeal he will offend no one and be safe from the SJW.
He does not understand that good intentions will not protect him. His very existence is an offense and unless he somehow manages to become the "minority of the week" something that he says, does, wears or even his expression will be used to beat him into a pulp.
And even if he becomes a "minority" he is still going to have to deal with the "more victimized then thou" SJW.
The scale keeps changing.
Who would have thought that a black woman immigrant from a third world county would be attacked because she does not believe women should be forced to have bits of their private parts carved off? Yet it is so.
