Wow. Just wow. As far as I'm concerned, the student in question should have exactly one response to the Stanford administration. "Fuck You."

  This is apparently the website for their "Protected Identity Harm Reporting System," including a form to submit reports: https://protectedidentityharm.stanford.edu/ https://protectedidentityharm.stanford.edu/ That have a dashboard where they apparently made some of the reports public (but it doesn't look like it's automatically updated).

  I've generally followed the belief that if an authority body says should not do something, I definitely want to know what that something is. This is continual additional blow back from the woke, hive mind virus.

    > blow back from the woke, hive mind virus It's a childish rejection of authority. A spoiler instinct built into all of us which precedes "wokeness" by millennia. It usually manifests as children being snots and adults being insufferable. It's also entirely necessary for change, progress and revolution.

Yep. If no rules or laws were broken, you have no obligation to participate in their circus.
