I think that while you've successfully addressed last Thursday's shitshow at Berkeley, you've completely missed the point of the article. The point is not that students should be forced to allow their own oppression at school. The point is that we should not treat students as consumers, nor run universities as over-leveraged businesses who can't pay their staff or taxes if a controversy hits their tuition revenues this year.
Universities will be better places to protest when the Faculty Senate has the power to tell nanny-administrators and oversensitive parents to fuck right off, and then turn to the students and tell them to read Marx or Rawls for a damn change if they want to confront social issues.
