The Killer Joke

The student reported the incident to the PSU Bias Review Team, keeping his or her identity a secret. But the person who allegedly made the offending remark, however, was named in the complaint to the administration. [More]
So much for a right to confront your accuser.  Because talk about ugly little hive insects who deserve to have a snitch reputation follow them around for life.

Why do I picture members of the BRT greeting each other with stiff-arm salutes?

  1. So much for a right to confront your accuser.

    If they're so keen on "protecting" the accuser, then they can't say which remark was "offensive", lest the "offender" remember who was present when he/she made the remark and thus deductively identify the accuser.

    And if they can't say which remark was "offensive", then the accused has an impossible task of defending it. The accused is charged with unspecified "offenses", inevitably found guilty, and given an arbitrary -- and arbitrarily harsh -- punishment.

    All of this is, of course, by design. If you are a scapegoat demographic (say, white conservative Christian males), the only way to keep out of trouble is to keep your mouth shut at all times.

    Which is also by design.
