Following up on my post about free speech on college campuses, I noticed that the Brewster Rockit comic strip ran a hilarious week-long series on the subject, examining how easy it was to offend students at the comic's Mad Scientist College. The fictional college's professors needed to avoid a long list of offensive words that students could not deal with. Have today's college students really gotten so delicate that they cannot handle controversy?
Maybe it is time for more humor in college, just to help us professors and our students keep things in perspective.
