I don't think college students being involved in radical politics and protests against their school is a new trend.

  But colleges buying into their craziness and lunacy is.

    > But colleges buying into their craziness and lunacy is. No, its not. On either left-wing or right-wing causes.

      Yes it would be. Imagine the outcry if a school hung up a sign going "No blacks allowed".

        Sort of like the Governor of Alabama saying exactly that on the footsteps of the University of Alabama?

  I didn't downvote you, but I think other people are because the article's central thesis is that this social phenomenon is at its core neither radical politics nor anti-school protests. Rather, the article claims that it's merely a new coat of paint on the same old gang bullying/identity politics/being mean to outsiders to increase one's own social status.

    That's how those movements were portrayed back in the day, too.

      Exactly, this isn't the first time a progressive social cause has been called "political correctness gone mad."

  I did downvote you, because this isn't at all what the article was about. Dismissiveness is annoying anyway, but it's especially useless when you completely miss the subject.
