I suspect you identify yourself as STUDENT out of fear of campus
based " identity politics ". As a democratic Socialist ( " far left " by
Talk Radio standards ) I completely respect your rather accurate
observations here.But you are mistaken in associating political
correctness mania and DIVERSITY obsession with the " far left " that
still calls itself " socialist ". I doubt campus supporters of Bernie
Sanders are obsessed and obnoxious about " keeping Christ out of
Christmas ", or that " prayer on the wall " at Cranston West. In fact,
there are few if any " socialists " among the vociferous New Atheists.
The hounding of the popular " Dancing Cop " , Tony Lepore , lacked any spirit of true humanist tolerance . Democratic socialists believe in FREE SPEECH for all. We don't believe in the madness of punitive political correctness. Good and decent college and university professors have lost their jobs simply for " insensitive " truth telling. Free thinking socialists think that there is nothing more blissfully subversive than TRUTH.
TRUTH and BEAUTY are not effete, reactionary ideals. I would encourage more " far left " Brown students to defy the tyranny of political correctness.
