But the flakes are out in droves.
Yup, those dainty, fragile students who cannot countenance views that differ from their own are being offered counseling because of the possible psychological damage incurred by Shapiro’s rhetoric.
Not Antifa’s violence. Shapiro’s rhetoric.
I surely wish I had the puppies and Play-Doh concession.
“No one should be made to feel threatened or harassed simply because of who they are or for what they believe.”
Unless, of course, they are white and have conservative beliefs.
It’s not just students. Am seeing this in 30 to 50 year olds in the workplace. It truly is one of those viral mass hysteria things.
The only way to fix this increasingly looks like a wide ranging natural disaster or all out domestic existential conflict to purge those too far gone and to beat the behavior out of those who might still be salvaged.

“Not Antifa’s violence. Shapiro’s rhetoric.“
it’s the mainstream media running with this nonsense
that legitimises it in millennial eyes… the 4th estate
has become the 5th column.

Nah, this isn’t about hurt feelings…it’s about controlling the narrative in a “debateless” vacuum. Heaven help the tadpole student, should they actually listen to Ben’s arguments and start to apply critical thinking to what has been preached to them non-stop. This is damage control, pure and simple.
I’d be more interested in learning the dirty little detail as to whom was directly responsible for setting up this little re-education service. There’s your Socialist kingpin.
Yup, Shapiro’s rhetoric is more dangerous than antifa … to the prog/socialists’ agenda.
It is ironic. This is the very same university which suffered nights of violence and destruction, and yet had no thoughts of offering counseling then for possible psychological damage.
“No one should be made to feel threatened or harassed simply because of who they are or for what they believe.” Yeah, right. The riots were threats and harassment to Milo for his scheduled talk. And what was the university’s reaction? Cancel his talks.
It is SOP for the left. When they say things like the quote they never think it should apply to themselves. As an example, I have saved the link to this hilarious tweet by Jim Acosta:

“Isn’t it a ‘fake news conference’ to take a question from a reporter who is essentially an ally of the White House?” Then all the news conferences of the previous eight years were fake, by his own declaration.
I am ashamed of my University … and all those phone calls they place to me asking for $$$ … go straight to voicemail. Until the swamp of leftists infesting UC Berkeley are removed … I will not give another dime to my alma mater. And since that will NEVER happen … my money remains invested in capitalistic corporations who actually MAKE things, and sell them for a PROFIT. I don’t know what kind of sheep the University is breeding … but they are headed straight to the slaughter of the REAL world. They will all be shorn and butchered by a world that enjoys tasty, tender, young spring lamb. Mmmm. mmm. mmm. I like my sweet lamb rare, with a crispy exterior.
There isn’t even a pretense of these institutions being anything but an appendage of the institutional left. Shapiro is being treated like a token alien coming from a scary planet where mind control is used against humans to turn them into something foreign to the suffocating leftist groupthink that is now institutionalized in the modern university. See the Essay: “The Comprachicos” -Ayn Rand
Let’s get some kew speak going.
“You can just ignore whatever Dianne Feinstein says, she is just a raging Catholicist-phobe.”
“Those Christain-phobes at Berkeley are so irrational, it is almost funny.”
“The liberty-phobes who went after Brendan Eich are running Firefox into the ground faster than I expected.”
So I wonder where one signs up to become one of those “counselors”…
I think they’d…probably need more counseling after I was through with them.
They would suffer from counseloraphobia.
