If I could make everybody read just one story about the absurdities of campus bureaucracies punishing dissident students for mildly edgy Facebook posts, it would be this one. reason.com/2019/11/26/ind… (1)
Micah Sample wrote a post saying cultural appropriation was dumb and he could wear whatever costume he wanted. Maybe you disagree, that's fine. Tone of the post was all "debate me, bro!" Not great, whatever. (2)
As a result of the post, a dozen people filed bias response complaints against Sample. They said he had threatened their safety (he hadn't). They said they felt endangered (they weren't). And so the university became involved. (3)
Sample's post was condemned in an official statement. Then he was informed he was charged with harassment and disruption. He was told this matter would be adjudicated at a hearing in six days. When he showed up, the matter was in effect already decided. He was guilty. (4)
As a result of this process, Sample has essentially been red-pilled. His concern that the left is intolerant of dissent is now a fiery conviction. Great job, edu-crats. reason.com/2019/11/26/ind… (5)
