Continued Nerfing of the World - Doritos and "triggering" political activity.

Pansy Child Can't Handle A Spicy Dorito, School Bans The Chips Entirely: "When a kid found a Dorito to be too spicy, the school system banned Doritos. 

 No. Fucking really. 

The school banned Doritos. Via the Daily Mail: A school has banned new crisps which are 10 times hotter than jalapeno chillis after they affected a pupil’s breathing. Bags of Doritos Roulette contain a mixture of regular crisps and extra-spicy ones which makers boast ‘will leave you close to tears’. But the George Pindar School in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, has banned the bags from its site after a youngster was taken ill. A school spokesman said it brought in the ban ‘after an incident with a student where they had experienced some difficulty breathing after eating one’. 

...These kids will need to take on Mega-ISIS one day, but they won’t be able to because they’ll whine that their state-issued M-5’s get too hot when they hold the trigger for too long. Then we’re seriously fucked. Ban Doritos now, caliphate later."

Portland State University Will Shut Down Political Activity If It’s ‘Triggering’ - Hit & Run : Reason.com: "Portland State University bureaucrats are doing a great job demonstrating how overblown concerns about the emotional security of students can quickly lead to blanket censorship of constitutionally-protected political speech. Administrators told a conservative student that his political protest could “trigger” a negative reaction from others—as such, he was prevented from continuing with his plans. Student Christian Britschgi had the idea to create a fake “murder-free zone” to criticize the logic behind self-described “gun-free zones.” Britschgi’s thinking is that a gun-free designation wouldn’t stop a criminal—someone intent on committing violence—from carrying a gun into such a place, just as the creation of a murder-free zone wouldn’t make anyone more or less safe from being murdered. Killers don’t obey signs. Regardless of what one thinks about the idea, Britschgi has an ironclad right to advertise it to his campus. College is exactly the sort of place where people with different ideas about gun laws should be allowed to make an attempt to convince one another.

University administrators disagreed. They called the flyers promoting Britschgi’s murder-free zone “libelous” and “triggering,” according to Fox News: “Our advisor signed off on our proposal quickly at first but became skeptical after she saw the nature of the content,” Britschgi said. Upon further review, Britschgi said, school officials determined the proposal could be “libelous,” “triggering” and cause people to attack them.

"With no degree of irony, the supervisor claimed our posters were so inflammatory that they could get us physically attacked by another student.  Apparently there exists a large number of pro-murder partisans at Portland State."

Administrative deference to the protection of feelings and emotions creates a climate of censorship on campus, and here is the proof. When a college deems it necessary to prevent some students from expressing mildly controversial ideas because other students are emotionally incapable of handling them—and could even react violently!—it’s no longer college. It’s not even a nursery school. It’s an insane asylum."
