I could have come up with a more complex example of a racist environment providing no actual physical threat that would have been equally valid under these circumstances. Students considering applying to a university where they have heard that blacks are graded unfairly, perhaps. You got my point.

Under the "right circumstances," i.e. those liberals agree with, the slighted negative mental influence directed at a specific group can be considered an outright attack, and warrant legal remedies. Like a tiny cross on a county seal, or a racist comment by a corporate board member.

But the exclusion of an entire philosophical sector from an educational establishment is fine, because, I suspect, the right ox is being gored. Not the only example of liberal hypocrisy I could come up with.

This is why the Boy Scouts can be enthusiastically attacked for philosophical criteria, but not a college board.
