Agreed but the point of the article is that these students are rebelling against literally any form of challenge to their own ideals. They actually don't identify with any ideals; they make up their own! On no factual basis. The article even says so.
The fact is that these students are rebelling against the education they are paying for in order to gain more visibility for non-issues. Some of these issues are actually fairly fascist. They asked for a piece of artwork to be taken down because it insulted them. If we extend that argument, no art would be allowed, ever! Coddled is the word that comes to my mind.

The rebellion at the campus today is a rebellion against science, against very idea that facts are universal. I sometimes wonder if rebellion like this can cause another dark age someday if it gains enough support from young people. Or maybe a beginning of "Idiocracy" type dystopia.
- pigpaws 10y agoconsidering 'new-earthers' and 'flat-earthers' are making a comeback, along with religious extremism taking over (in terms of laws vs traditions) I'd say the next dark-ages are right around the corner...
