Equality is a very important issue, but some people today sadly seem to think it means that their feelings trump the rights others. This is especially evident in the protests that have been taking place on college campuses, such as at Yale. After being asked to reflect on inappropriate costumes for Halloween, some students are asking for Professor Nicholas Christakis to be fired for daring to hurt their feelings and for not maintaining their ‘safe space.’
Australian comedian Neel Kolhatkar parodies this concept when social justice and equality goes way, way too far in this latest viral sketch in which all students grades are averaged together to ‘be fair’ and their grade is lowered based on their privilege.
