DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: “‘We want to have a [safe space] for people who feel marginalized and face constant attention for characteristics that are immutable—like their skin color or their religion, their immigration status or whether they’re from another country—to be able to heal,’ [Duke public policy school’s Committee on Diversity and Inclusion co-chair Kathryn Whetten] told The [Duke] Chronicle. A note of mild criticism: some of the characteristics she describes are not immutable. Skin color is immutable—you can’t change that—but religion isn’t. People change their religious beliefs all the time. In fact, a lot of young people change their religious and political beliefs after they come to college and are exposed to different ways of thinking. One could even argue that many students ought to change their fundamental beliefs once they are exposed to better information—that this is the entire point of college.”

But not from the point of view of its massively growing bureaucracy. For both them, and what Iowahawk accurately calls the screaming campus garbage baby, the Will to Power derives from victimhood, forming a symbiotic relationship that in many cases is deeply destructive to the student.
