If this is the best that Yale can produce, then we're all screwed. Mind you, it's about 10 months old, but I don't recall seeing it on here.

This started over an email that the professor's wife, the man in question, sent to the student body, urging the students to avoid dressing up for Halloween in ways that could be “culturally unaware or insensitive.”
“Have we lost faith in young people’s capacity—in your capacity—to exercise self-censure, through social norming, and also in your capacity to ignore or reject things that trouble you?” Erika wrote. “What does this debate about Halloween costumes say about our view of young adults, of their strength and judgment? Whose business is it to control the forms of costumes of young people? It’s not mine, I know that.”
Well, apparently the reaction says a lot.
Oh, and the little entitled princess in this video? Here's some more about her...

She was raised by a white mother who's a registered Democrat. Big surprise, huh?
I admit: I haven't watched the videos. I value my brain too much.
