If all self selecting groups would address the issue as exemplified in this case, I think we'd be better off. While I could not care less about this college or its mission, I'm glad they are confronting the issue of manufactured offense. Taking offence at anything which makes someone feel uncomfortable mentally/psychologically. People should be able to deal with the ugliness of reality as a matter of course rather than something which affronts them or something which calls their existence into question.

Harassment, of course, is something different and malicious and should be confronted uncovered and called out, but simple discourse, antagonistic as may be, is something humans should learn how to engage with with relative ease, rather than recoil and become less able to deal with the realities of living in a complex and undanitized society.
