Did Hamilton College take 'political correctness to the extreme'?
Article here. Excerpt:
'CLINTON — A national free-speech group recently recognized Hamilton College — but not in a positive way.
The college was named a recipient of a 2011 Jefferson Muzzle, a distinction given over the past 20 years to institutions responsible for “affronts to free expression,” according to the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression, located in Virginia.
The college took “political correctness to the extreme” by requiring male first-year students to attend a presentation in September called “She Fears You” where men were “asked to acknowledge their complicity in a ‘rape culture’ … and to change their ‘rape supportive’ beliefs and attitudes,” according to the center.
Female freshmen also were required to attend an event — a one act play called “Fresh,” which the Jefferson center characterized as having a theme of acceptance and support.'
