Students 'deeply hurt' by criticism of liberal intolerance

h/t Instapundit
[CampusReform] A State University of New York at Oswego administrator has reprimanded a conservative student for delivering an "uncomfortable" speech during an "Open Mic" event last month.

According to an email obtained by Campus Reform, the school’s Alcohol and Other Drug Program Coordinator, Trisha DeWolf, contacted student Nicole Miller on May 2, stressing that some Open Mic attendees were disturbed by her presentation criticizing liberal intolerance on campus.

"It was brought to my attention that students were uncomfortable with the letter that Nicole read during open mic last week," the official wrote in the email. "While I am in support of your freedom of speech, I was implored to reach out you both by more than one student."

"Anytime I receive a complaint I have to follow up," she continued. "The unwritten policy has always been after one complaint, you receive a verbal warning and any complaint after than may result in being asked to not perform at open mic. I’ve already had to utilize this unwritten rule once this semester."
Is it just me, or little Trisha could benefit by doing a stunt of being Eric Schneiderman's girlfriend?

#1 The crime here is literally feelings being hurt. Unbelievable. But this has been written into policy.

#2 'Free speech' designed to not make anyone 'feel uncomfortable' is pointless. So is speech that doesn't cause complaints by any party.

#4 Simple solution. Get a buddy and each of you complain about *every* speaker. Or every liberal speaker. Do it in writing so it's official.

#5 Unwritten rules are so flexible, aren't they? Just like "double secret probation"!

#8 The sad thing is they were unhappy about their previous vile attacks being read aloud. As far as I know the campus did nothing about the actual vile attacks, just about them being read aloud.
