| I do not believe this has anything to do with political correctness per se - there are no disadvantaged groups beyond the students exposed to this horrible person. This is just really poor decision making on the part of the university. Who allows this nonsense? And yes, where were the parents of the other students on the floor?

The system where I am from makes stem majors take humanities courses and vice versa, the clear distinction stem/hum is no longer there, hasn't been maybe 15 years or more. I camped out at both since my degrees are so transdisciplinary. It is a general trend.
As per the monster guy the article is about, here in Europe you couldn't blame the school nor parental neglect of students who aren't minors I don't think.
