I can't take the use of "war" in this headline seriously at all. Why is everything framed so threateningly? Maybe this is a bad policy, but it seems to me they want to ensure on-campus, official student organization run, parties that serve alcohol do so responsibly and provide other drinks so people don't feel like they have to drink booze. Maybe they've gone too far in another direction, but seems something Standford and its students can hash out without it being a fan for culture war bullshit.
- dang 4y agoI don't like that either and if someone can suggest a better title (i.e. more accurate and neutral, preferably using representative language from the article itself), we'd be happy to change it.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y ago"Stanford's aggressive crackdown on its own students" ?
- throwawayacc5 4y agoHow about "Standford's Orwellian Peace Against its Own Students"? It's literally the title of the linked article. I don't think editorializing and changing titles to placate neo-Puritans is helping anyone. If you don't like the title, contact the author and ask them to amend the title.
- libraryatnight 4y agoI'm not really sure if you can do anything about it - it is the actual title of the article. I went through the site and it seems to be mostly culture war related editorial pieces, so maybe this one's just on me to not click through when I see thefp.com Thanks for the reply though, dang.
