Struggle Sessions & Maoist Purges are Real, Albeit Much Less Violent Than They Used to Be

This and the professors removal from duty as a result of mob action can either be interpreted as an overly cautious response by admin to an unnecessarily honest and unbending response from a professor to a student, or as an example of the dynamics of Maoist purges and struggle sessions (as well as most other major modern marxist based revolutions).

The two radically different interpretations of the same event are not a good sign for social coherence. I suspect an increasingly large number of wrong-thinking academics, especially those with a disdain for authoritarianism will flock to Chicago styled universities with objectivist based teleogogies and the social norms that normally go with them.

I suspect that's a good thing. Let people separate and then do their thing. Religious folk should be able to be fully religious. Secular folk should be able to be fully secular. Customers shouldn't be surprised. Open and honest norms are essential. Unfortunately, I'm not sure society can tolerate difference...
