I Want to Laugh

But this is a university, not a kindergarten.  3/14/17 CampusReform:
A University of Arizona classroom dialogue guide encourages professors to use the “Oops/ouch method,” where students who are offended in class say “ouch” and the offender responds with “oops.”
The guide, published by the Office for Diversity and Inclusive Excellence, provides outlines for how to encourage discussion about diversity in the classroom, explaining that “diversity poses both challenges and opportunities for a college campus.”...
One way to spur positive interactions and create a “safe space” in the classroom, the handbook claims, is to set a ground rule of using “Oops/ouch” in cases where one student offends another.
“If a student feels hurt or offended by another student’s comment, the hurt student can say ‘ouch,” the guide explains. “In acknowledgement, the student who made the hurtful comment says ‘oops.’ If necessary, there can be further dialogue about this exchange.” 
Or maybe that isn't really so different now?

If I stub my toe on a desk, and say, "Ouch," will the desk be reprimanded for not saying, "Oops"?

  1. So, what happens when someone deemed by the leftists to be the adult in the room says "ouch" in response to some cockamamie leftist lie? Will there be any discussion or explanation beyond "shut up, this is the accepted pravda?"
