#1 Just wait until the Queens Engineering students get their hands on one of these drones and lashes him to the top of a flagpole on top of one of the university buildings in the middle of the night. He'll wave . . . . . . like a flag.

#2 "We are trained to interrupt behaviour in a non-blameful and non-judgmental manner, so it's not like we're pulling someone aside and reprimanding them about their behaviour. It is honestly trying to get to the root of what they're trying to say - seeing if that can be said in a different manner."

Really? And how would you apply this theory to someone screaming the N-word, or the F-word at a Pride Day parade, Mr Hayward? What words should they be screaming, and what is the root of what they are trying to say?

#5 Really, really dumb. Invasion of privacy to promote politically correct thinking? Daft.

The would be better off getting a column in the student paper to talk about this stuff regularly and see if they can get people to talk about it.
