Yes, that's the usual ideals of universities. The difference is that usually it comes along with not being allowed to make extremely hateful or racist or sexist comments. There's a certain part of american society that has lost their ability to see this distinction and thinks that they should be able to attack other people, say they are not legitimate humans. They think, wrongly in my view, that they aren't free if they can't attack people in this way.

Do you find the Yale Trap House email [1] "extremely hateful or racist"? What about physicist Dorian Abbot's views on Affirmative action?

I find their definition of "trap house" to be entertaining.

Once associated with inner city crack dens, "trap house" has also become generic slang for any place where young people can score beer.

Seems like they pulled that from urban dictionary [1] and changed a few words to make it more "professional".

Originally used to describe a crack house in a shady neighborhood, the word has since been abused by high school students who like to pretend they're cool by drinking their mom's beer together and saying they're part of a "traphouse".

They cite/hyperlink that urban dictionary entry.
