I keep trying to tell all of my social circle that the normal (although not proper response) to an extremist point of view, is to either embrace it or to vouch for the oposite one. Very few people seem interested to even give it a thought about that and happily continue expousing their extremist points of view (when it's an extremist left point of view of course, since they are told by all the media and social networks that's the moral point of view to have). When stuff like this has become the norm, exactly what reaction would you expect? "One morning during first period, a male friend of Sam’s mentioned a meme whose suggestive name was an inside joke between the two of them. Sam laughed. A girl at the table overheard their private conversation, misconstrued it as a sexual reference, and reported it as sexual harassment. Sam’s guidance counselor pulled him out of his next class and accused him of “breaking the law.” Before long, he was in the office of a male administrator who informed him that the exchange was “illegal,” hinted that the police were coming, and delivered him into the custody of the school’s resource officer. At the administrator’s instruction, that man ushered Sam into an empty room, handed him a blank sheet of paper, and instructed him to write a “statement of guilt.”"
