Will 2017 Signal the End of SJWs at College Campuses?
Here’s an interesting discussion between Jonathan Haidt and Tom Woods about how Social Justice Warriors (SJWs) got so out of control:
In case you’re interested, here’s the Ohio State University encounter the gentlemen reference. One wonders if this is the first time these spoiled brats have ever been told ‘No’?!

The Great Year that was 2016
Many on the Left consider 2016 to have been a terrible year. Lawrence Solomon begs to differ.
2016 wrote the epitaph to political correctness, the most insidious of the evils facing society and also among the most toxic. To silence challengers to today’s orthodoxy, self-styled “social justice warriors” on the left have been quick to label dissenters as racists, sexists, homophobes or Islamophobes, unaware that in previous generations the dissenters from the orthodoxies — those who fought for emancipation of the slaves, women’s suffrage, gay and other civil rights — succeeded precisely because upholders of the orthodoxies were unable to silence dissent.
Political correctness is not benign, as many imagine. It hampers everything from fighting the war on terror, to acquiring energy independence, to alleviating poverty. Neither is political correctness popular with the general public — opinion polls show two-thirds to three quarters of Americans, including millennials and students — oppose it.
