UVA Med Student Suspended For A Year For Questioning "Microaggressions" Lecture

link
His questions weren't great, and they were a bit heated, but he was way, way, way within the bounds of civility. I've heard a lot of objections and responses at philosophy papers that were waaaaaay more heated and aggressive than that. And his questions were certainly better than her responses, which were bullshit. She was apparently trying to both define "microaggressions" as something that could target only preferred groups in the progressive stack...and simultaneously worm out of that commitment in order to avoid the obvious objections.
   Note that the student who ratted him out complains that he had "questioned the validity of the information" the speaker presented...."for the whole audience to hear"!!!111 My God...questioning the validity of claims! At a university!
   Apparently they're trying to force him to get some kind of psych evaluation or treatment. Tres Soviet, UVA. Tres Stalinist.
