Several weeks ago I posted a discussion of “Selective Sensitivity At Yale” occasioned by yet another outburst of outrage at Yale, this time ignited by the invitation to a campus symposium of someone who, as a 16 or 17 year old Harvard law student (yes, that’s right) used a nasty word. This was about the time the controversy had broken out into the open over the presence of a former Taliban official who had been admitted to a Yale program (a program that usually results in admission as a regular student) despite having little or no academic credentials.
Now David Bernstein reports that 1/3 of the audience walked out of the now not so youthful former verbal offender’s talk.
Yale seems increasingly to be a hothouse of selective moral sensitivity.
