    This article is great, but it needs to discuss video games and rap music more.

    Even whoever was supposed to proof read this didnt get to the end. Really liked a few quotes from here though including this one, "If students graduate believing that they can learn nothing from people they dislike or from those with whom they disagree, we will have done them a great intellectual disservice."
    This oversensitivity seems to have been going on for decades though, America is flooded with euphemisms and all kinds of polical correctness that seems to do no one any good.

    Rap music is a haven for non-PC art. Video games as well.

    Here's another one, partly on the recent episode at Duke's campus with a demonstration against a book depicting lesbian sex bc it will force unsuspecting students to have "lust" in their hearts:
    http://www.vox.com/2015/8/26/9211127/christians-pornography-hate-why

    its the same logic -- 'i can't be even exposed to this content/ideas bc it will harm me'. this is a new breed of censorship and is obviously a slippery slope.
