Political Correctness - License To Bully, Yale University Halloween Costumes Incident

                                            In the news recently were reports and videos about an incident at Yale, an Ivy league university, in which a group of students confronted a professor regarding an email written by his wife regarding halloween costumes. The level of anger and emotion seemed incredibly disproportionate to the significance of the issue that riled up the students. This is a world on fire with war, intolerance, cruelty and terrorism. A world with massive poverty and environmental depletion, where so many suffer so profoundly. Hopefully this incident is nothing more than the immaturity that comes from being young and perhaps spoiled, and one day will be outgrown. (These students, captured on video in this day and age where all things good or bad are captured, should not be judged harshly.) In a way the incident is unsurprising, considering how in many universities and colleges, the mantra is political correctness, not compassion, tolerance, respect and reasonableness. Universities and schools have become places of indoctrination.
                                              When humans form a mob, often the worst in human nature comes out. This did not constitute a mob, or if it did, it was tame. People on the sidelines watching humans behaving badly too often stand there like lumps on a log. This is not about agreeing or disagreeing with the issue of concern to the group or mob. It is about standing up against those that berate and bully another. It would have been nice if just one student, no matter their position on the halloween costumes, tried to at least calm the situation down and not let the professor be verbally ganged up upon.
